What are some tips for keeping a job?

Tips 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.
