Commit to lifelong learning.
Take every opportunity to learn new skills and keep your current ones up to date. Skill up by completing online training modules, watching educational videos, reading, taking certification, college or adult ed courses, and finding expert mentors online. Key decision makers will be impressed by your commitment to self-improvement – and you can enhance your resume and LinkedIn profile by adding this information.
Be ready to show your value.
Prove your worth, every chance you get, whether it’s in an interview or during a meeting, presentation or day-to-day conversation at work. Don’t just make suggestions for how you could help a company increase its revenue: show it.
- When you talk with customers who express a need for something not currently available, or spot something lacking in the course of your work, bring it to your manager’s attention, along with ideas for a solution. Being proactive in this way helps you stand out from the crowd in a positive way. Whenever possible, include statistical data to strengthen your case.
Continuously build your network.
Surround yourself with the right people by continuously networking, even if you’re not looking for a new position. Networking has a domino effect, as one contact leads to another and relationships are fostered.
- Connect with top experts in your field via LinkedIn or by attending conferences and other professional events, following their blogs, and keeping them posted whenever you create something that may interest them. Be proactive and participate in groups and discussions.
- Join a professional association. In addition to great networking, this will help keep you up to date on happenings in your field.
