Ways to Amaze Your Boss
Posted in Around the Network, Blog Jobs, Jobs and Careers by gracelim | No CommentsThere are certain things you need to consider when dealing with your boss. They could fire you or promote you just by the way you handle them or how you perfom in you work. Yahoo had some amazing advices to give away to keep us from loosing our jobs.
Be honest. Everyone makes mistakes — and you’re no exception. Be forthcoming about it from the start. “Admit if you do something wrong, and then ask your boss how you can rectify the situation. Don’t allow yourself to get caught in a maze of lies or excuses that will result in a loss of credibility,” she advises.
Be respectful of the boss’s time. If you think your plate is full, consider that of your boss. Use your time together wisely and efficiently. Levit suggests, “Appear in her office with a checklist of things you need to cover, and don’t dwell too long on any particular subject. Your boss will be more receptive to meeting with you if she knows you’ll be in and out of his office quickly.”
Be a “can-do” employee. Redefine the concept of a “yes man” (or “yes woman”) at the office. She advises, “When your boss asks you to do something, accommodate him, if possible. The words ‘I don’t have time’ should never escape your lips. If you know something needs to be done, do it without being prodded, and if your boss asks for help in a group setting, be the first to volunteer.”
Apart from all this, your goof to go.
