STOP YOUR BOSS FROM GETTING YOU FIRED!

Vic  has just been fired! Today Monday 30 is an unusual day for her. She called crying while speaking on the phone with me. I took a deep breath asked her a few questions and found that she wasn't fired because her boss hates her, but because of repeated negligence of  duty. The job she's just lost is her first after graduating from the university. On several occasions her boss has complained to me over the way she disregards his instructions. I've been pleading with him to exercise patience and have successful made Vic's boss wait for a change in Vic's attitude. This time there's really nothing I can do; no plea from me can change her boss' decision. On several occasions I've scolded Vic over not acting 'official' at work. The  best I get from her is an "I'll change promise". Every time I see her I see the exuberance of a campus 'chick' in her. She's been having a hard time trying to divorce campus life. This struggle has given her a hard time at work. Keeping your first job after graduating can be really hard work. Below I've listed some tips that will  not only make you keep your job but also advance in it:

 

• See yourself as a neophyte and get plunge into real research on ways to improve the skills needed for the job. Relying solely on what you learnt while in school can be detrimental; in fact most of those 'stuff' your lecturers told you in school are outdated!

 

• Be respectful to your boss.

 

• Do a careful study of your boss, look out for those things he always love done on the job and those things he hates being done. Do effectively the things he loves.

• Set goals and target to achieve yearly, monthly or quarterly. This is the only way you can make your worth speak. The more your boss sees your worth the harder it become for him to fire you.

• Stop  doing or executing a task in a particular way. Effect change to produce more results.

   
• Don't wait until your skills get worn-out. Go for good training programs. An easy way is to look for webinars.

   

   
• Look at the job you do and introduce something that will be beneficial to the organization. Always add something increasing your organization's growth.

   

   
• Avoid getting involved with gossips and rumors about your boss and the organization done by certain workers of the organization. Remember there will always be whistle-blowers.

   

   
• Show dedication and loyalty to the organization.

   

   
• Once in a while strike up a conversation that will tickle the fancy of your boss.
