On The Job

DECEMBER 28, 2009

Ask your boss for opportunities to train in other departments, or to attend seminars or classes at a local university. Your resume should always be able to reflect that you’ve kept up on the latest training and skills. Attend an event or sign up for an online class that really challenges you. Find a mentor. I love #10.

Do you need someone to talk to during the day when you are stressed? My advice is to grab a member and become a mentor or get mentored! Not only are you improving your skills and adding to your resume, you are making yourself more indispensable and an asset to your company or the next one. Tap into each others brains.

However, even after taking many classes on the various programs I still haven’t gotten any new tasks. It’s such a shame that there aren’t more managers who are good mentors that help each individual grow and learn more in their roles. We discussed it at length and I “have” my boss’ support. I hope I can be of some help to you.

It also looks bad on one’s resume. Reduce the stress and annoying things in your life to maximize your happiness.
