If your office time is 10:00 a.m., you’re expected to be working by then. Depending on whither? You work, you might have to change your clothes, power up a PC, or do some another preparation before you’re ready to work. All of these activities should be completed by the time your workday begins (ex: 10:00 a.m.). It is helpful to arrive 10 - 15 minutes before your exact start time. 2.

Essential Skills Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship department has developed a list of essential skills for work, learning and life: reading text Document use Numeracy writing Oral communication working with others Continuous learning thinking skills Computer use Most of these skills are transferable. This means they can be used your skills in lots of different areas of your life and different types of projects. You may have developed skills through volunteering, playing sports, or learning some specific courses. Try to think about which experiences might be most useful at work. Look for ways to use your skills to increase your Job success score. 5. Take Initiative Taking initiative means doing what’s needed without being asked. It’s a good idea to make a list of tasks that you can do when you have some downtime in your job. Depending on what you do, these types of list might be found in your job record. For example, if you work in a retail store, there are jobs like restocking or tidying to do when you’re not busy. Regardless of the type of work that you do, it’s a good idea to ask your supervisor what he or she would like you to do when you’re not busy with your regular tasks. 6. Be ready to learn It used to be common to graduate from private institute, high school, university, or any other training and enter the workforce as a trained person. In the past, there wasn’t much focus on more training or schooling once you got a job. Now, it’s expected that even after you finish formal training and get a job you’ll continue to learn. You might do this by taking courses, workshops, or learning on the job. Continuous learning is also called lifelong learning, Continuous learning benefits get both employers and employees by: learning new skills keeping skills and knowledge current Opening up new opportunities creating opportunities for promotion discovering new interests increasing self-confidence enhancing job satisfaction increasing employability It’s not about to surprising that many successful people are lifelong learners. Learning does not always mean formal schooling. There are lots of ways to learn: Read Network Volunteer Enrol in courses, workshops, or programs engage in on the job training find or be a mentor You’re responsible for your own learning. Don’t wait for someone to offer you an opportunity. Keep your eyes open for new learning opportunities. You might be surprised at how many opportunities are available. 7. Skills are best to learn in the 21st Century We analyzed which transferable work skills are most useful in the most desirable jobs, finding broadly that the best are: Analysis, including decision-making, critical thinking and problem-solving. Learning new skills and information. Social skills, including spoken communication, active listening, social perceptiveness, and persuasion. Management, including time management, monitoring performance, monitoring personnel and coordinating people. We could broadly classify these as “leadership” skills. The problem is that these skills are hard to improve. You’ve had to make decisions and speak to people your entire life, and well-established ways to train these skills don’t always exist. Contrast this with computer programming: you can go from zero to having useful abilities in a year or two of practice. 8. Show, don't tell The value of action is far higher than that of mere words. Use this as a principle in your dealings at the job. Instead of bragging on all the things you can do, and then never actually delivering, you ought to show management what you are capable of. 9. Create solutions Everyone can turn their problems into their supervisor's problems. Be the solution provider, not the problem creator. Great employees solve problems. If you don't have the right to give the final verdict on a problem relevant to your job or department, then make sure you offer solutions to your manager and try to help them as much as you can, wholeheartedly. 10. Think like A Managers, Not Employees Employees wait to be told what to do managers think strategically about what needs to be done, and when they do it. Employees do their work well managers are allocated to the team doing well so they mentor other employees, pitch in when they’re needed, and go that extra mile if it means the works will going to be done better. And people who get promoted think like managers. 11. Listen more than you talk Active listening is a critical skill that can help you, in the long run, become a master CEO of both your job and in your personal life. Many people are guilty of talking too much. Learn to listen attentively when speaking to a colleague or when in a conference. Do not merely listen with the intention of jumping inside and unloading your thoughts. Do not be high on your own voice. Genuinely engage in conversations and show attentiveness by nodding, paraphrasing, asking for clarification, asking open-ended questions and maintaining eye contact when talking to someone. 12. Pay Attention to Body your Language Because Ninety three per cent of what we say has nothing to do with our words. To look like a leader when you speak, “stand up to speak if possible, with feet comfortably apart, shoulders back, chin up, and expansive arms, so that your body language adds credibility to your message,” says Miller. “It works when seated, too; sitting up exact with arms out increases the space you take up, which is an exhibition of power.” 13. Keep Personal Problems Out of the Workplace Beware of extensively talking about your problems. What you tell your coworkers could influence their perception and your boss's about your ability to do your job and it could make you the subject of workplace gossip. 14. Think like an Entrepreneur How to think like an entrepreneur is one more skillset, the trademark of an entrepreneur is their ability to take a risk on turning a passionate vision into a reality. Key characteristics of entrepreneurs include: looking for new opportunities, taking smart and calculated risks, ability to inspire others on their vision, controlling emotions and being calm during crisis, optimism, crisis management, Persistence and determination. One way to think like an entrepreneur is to look for new opportunities in terms of seeking ways to increase your current role. 15. Block social media.  It’s designed to be addictive, so it can ruin your focus. Changing task a lot makes you less productive due to attention residue. For this reason, many people have found tools that block social media during work hours, or for a certain amount of time each day, to majorly boost their productivity.
