Career Development

Being A
Perfect Employee

"Hiring practices have undergone a significant
shift in the past two years."  "No company offers
a permanent guarantee of work anymore."  "Job
security is hard to find, but here's how to make 
sure you're in demand."  "Learning is key."

Companies need "people who are productive,
resourceful, and able to do today's job as well as
meet the quick changes industry is demanding."

"Go to work with an attitude of success.  FOCUS
ON IMPROVING PRODUCTIVITY and look 
for ways to save money, time and improve one's 
company, as well as improving your individual 
performance."

"This attitude entails being efficient, spending less
time socializing, gossiping or doing personal
things while at work.  It also contributes to a
congenial workplace."

Global competition now leaves companies with
little room to raise prices.  They need continually 
higher productivity in order to still make a profit 
if they want to retain all of their people.

When hiring, managers must "evaluate past 
experience, learning ability, attitude, and 
productivity achievements and potential."  
"Age is NOT a barrier to developing these 
highly desired qualities, BUT ATTITUDE IS."

"Younger job candidates are often quick learners,
adaptable, flexible and willing to try and succeed 
at new tasks."  "Many older workers get content,
or busy with their families, or distracted by serious
personal problems."
