Short Cuts:BETTER YET
Tooting Your Own Horn
W ith layoffs rising,
employees can help protect their jobs via the fine art of
self-promotion, say career coaches. Here are some tips from the
Marblehead, Mass.-based firm Columbia Consultancy (www.columbiaconsult.com).
EVALUATE YOURSELF. Write down what you
accomplished and why you think it was important.
SUBMIT THE EVIDENCE. Create a quarterly or
monthly report that tracks your major achievements, and be sure to
send a copy to your supervisor. Don’t ramble just give the straight
facts.
PRAISE OTHERS. Everyone likes a team player, so
be sure to openly applaud co-workers who have contributed to a
project or anyone who you notice has worked hard and achieved
results.
SPEAK UP. Have an idea that might increase
productivity or bolster office morale? Share it at the next staff
meeting. And if you think your talents go beyond the scope of your
present assignments, step forward and volunteer to take on another
task.
