Be That Employee That Every Company Wants To Hire

Do you ever wonder why some individuals are recruited by other companies? Sometimes it’s just because they are currently in a position for which it is hard to find qualified applicants. But many times it is because that employee has gained a good reputation in the industry. Your business reputation should be especially important to you. It is the key to your future. Take care to develop it and continually improve it.

How do you do that? There are many factors that combine to create your business reputation. These include your proficiency at your job (the skills and quality of your work), your people skills (friendliness, approachability, generosity of time and knowledge), and your dedication to the company you work for/job loyalty (not a job hopper, don’t speak ill of the company and/or employees). Your actions every day in these areas are continually being judged by others around you. Like it or not, those judgements will be communicated to others in and outside the company. Over your work life people you may not even know will hear about you. You always want what they hear to be positive.

Those positive impressions make you a more valuable employee. A company will work hard to keep the valuable employees. Career opportunities are more plentiful to those with a good or great work reputation. So if you care about your career and your work future, strive every day to improve your work reputation. You are the one who will benefit the most from being the employee that every company wants to hire!
