Developing a Good Reputation at Work


Career success can be improved by developing a good reputation at work. Ask yourself if these statements apply to you:

• My boss told me I was doing an excellent job during my last performance review.
• I have made connections with people in other departments, so I know what's going on in my company.
• I often ask for new assignments that challenge me and let me develop new skills and gain more experience.
• I ask for feedback from my supervisors and even colleagues about my work and I make changes if needed.
• I know what I'm not as good at, and I am working to overcome those weaknesses.
• I know who has influence in the organization, and I work to get myself noticed in a positive way.
• I volunteer for community service projects or other projects that give me a chance to meet others and make a positive impression.
• I'm careful to be seen as a cheerful and positive person at work and I resist cynical or critical comments.
