Tip of the Day: Extend and Expand Your Role

There are times to put your nose in other people’s business, and times to know when to mind your own business. In the career marketplace as it is now things are very competitive; if you aren’t growing you’re just standing still. If you want to get promoted down the line or get better projects try inserting yourself into them. Promotions may come later as a result of your hard work and efforts to show that you’re an asset to your company. To get there you need to get involved as much as you can.

If in a team meeting your colleagues are talking about the launch of a new blog or website, if it’s something you’re interested having a stake in then raise your hand and offer your services. You may not get the lead or managing role, but your overall commitment and expertise can start to add up.

It’s never too early to help and not too late to get involved. Put your stamp on your role, and make a good name for yourself.
