Salary, brand name or job role?

Decision should not be based on the size of the organization but the kind of exposure it gives you to form a solid base for your career.

Be nice to everyone and always give responses.

Else you would be surprised how quickly your lack of a response will hurt you.

Honesty and integrity build a foundation of trust.

Respect individuals as we live in a multi races society.

ALWAYS DRESS IMPECCABLY

•Dress to impress.

•Formal dressing is a must. A dress code tells a lot about an employee’s attitude. You will be judged on the basis of your dress.

Be patient and persistent

Corporate success is a marathonQuick success is extremely rare Always sacrifice money for future. Don't let

the company niche you into some proprietary slot that is useless outside the company. Forget the money and work on the resume. It will pay off in the long-run.

Be flexible but goal-driven

Employers are looking for employee who can best handle the unforeseen, rapid shifts and timely responses.

Flexibility in work makes you quickly fix into the circumstances and do some appropriate adjustments.

Change direction when your vision changes!

Never grandstandNever make more out of a topic or

issue than it deserves.Never be a grandstander to harm

others just for personal gain.Do not try to get ahead at the expense

of others.

Think positively

How you think affects everything you do. Employees with gracious response is

always the winner. A positive mind anticipates happiness, joy,

health and a successful result.

You see the glass half full? Or half empty?

Step up to slip-ups

Employee who take responsibility for mistakes and missteps is the best.

Finger-pointer, blame-vander and spin master cannot success in corporate world

Never defend yourself. It makes you look guilty. Fix it, apologize and move on.

ReadReading not only makes you knowledgeable but also widen your sight and creativity.When you are incompetant, you lose your job.

Always be prepared

•Avoid “don’t know” when replying your bosses.•Do your part and be attentive to details.

•Bosses look at your eagerness about your work, and they will notice it though your presentation and materials.

Listen more

Don't come across as though you know it all. You don't. There will always be somebody

better at your job than you are.

If you are unhappy, get out! Choose a job you love, and you will never

have to work a day in your life. Don't whine about things you can't fix or

won't fix. Don’t poison the well where you get your

water after you are posting out.

When you encounter difficulties, always remember

“Patience and time do more than strength or passion. ”- Jean de La Fontaine 

“The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra.”- Jimmy Johnson

“All things are difficult before they are easy.” - Thomas Fuller
