The heat of summer has settled in. So why not follow suit and heat things up at work? Follow these tips for stepping up and getting noticed in your practice.
1 Show you're ready to contribute to the practice in more meaningful ways by telling your manager you want to help wherever needed. Caveat: Mean it and follow through.
2 Keep managers informed of your positive progress on projects. This increases the chance your name will come up when new opportunities arise.
3 Arrive at work rested and prepared. This simple act speaks to your reliability. So when a manager needs someone to turn to, you'll be at the forefront.
4 Volunteer to update the practice bulletin board, create client handouts, or organize a team-building event. Such efforts set you apart and show your initiative.
5 Keep your scrubs or uniform clean and hole-free. Walk confidently and speak assuredly. Your professional appearance and behavior will reflect well on your capabilities.
6 Deliver what you promise and what you've been assigned to do. If for some reason you can't, admit it. Your manager will respect your honesty.
