for Keeping a Job |

Increase your knowledge
by learning new skills through education or on-the-job
training. |

Produce high-quality
work by being on time and meeting your job’s expectations.
Find out what you need to do to get good performance
reviews that will help you advance to a better position. |
| • |
Get along with coworkers,
supervisors, and people in general. This can be tough
at times, but use your creativity in dealing with
others. Your ability to advance to a better position
may depend on how well you get along with others. If
you need help handling conflict, ask your mentor, pastor,
or a trusted friend for help. |
| • |
Stand out from the crowd.
Learn a new skill, save your employer money, finish a
big project, or do something else that is noteworthy. |
The things you need to do to keep a job are directly related
to the things you need to do to advance to a better-paying
position.
For whatever job you get, for whatever amount of money you earn, at any time
in your life, keep this in mind: Your ability to make more money is based on
your “earning power.”
What does that mean? It means doing the things you need to do to increase your
chances of earning more money.
