1. Embrace responsibility

If you are fortunate in getting an opportunity of

increased responsibility outside your job scope, check where your skills

may lack, locate the help you will need from others

and

go for it.

2. Take on the

unexpected

Seize opportunities,

whilst getting as much context, planning and

preparation in the time you have. Don’t be

afraid to ask questions of your manager or

peers, no matter how dumb they may seem.

3. Helppeople

Seeing your job asan opportunity to help

peopleprovides you a greater sense

of job satisfaction and you will feel good.

You get your job done, it is more enjoyable and you will

gain respectin the process.

your stakeholders want and delivering

for them.

job excellently and ensure that your

stakeholders see the full benefit of your efforts.

own job

taking onmore

responsibilities within your existing job

role, you have flexibility to extend

your job scope and value.

It is easy to forget and not value the relationships of peers and managers working around

you.

Ensure you nurture those connections that are most

important to you by connecting with them face-to-face. They will help you in your career as

advisers, prospects and partners.

7. Take a strategic view– gain altitude

Gaining a sense of altitude in what you are

doing makes you more aware of how you can position yourself into

emerging opportunities.

Find something outside of work which can give

you time to reflect, take your mind off work and

make you fresher to re-engage with work.
