1. Describe the benefits
A fascinating presentation will not be enough without an understanding of the audience. You have to know what you should do and how they made sure to you. And a profit (ice breaking) of course will make them interested. For example, if you have an idea to increase the company turnover in front of the marketer, you can say "If this system is implemented in our company, you will get the benefit of A, B, and C"

Likewise when you open with the translation of statistical data or wise words, repeat these words on the cover.

4. Succinct

Beware Senior New Office

Entering a new work situation, not infrequently raises mixed feelings. There is a feeling happy, excited, and terrified. It's only natural.

As 'new citizens', there are many questions that come up to you, regarding the question "Can I adapt the new environment?" or "whether they can accept my existence?"


Remain calm, however, they are your co-workers. Even so, remain vigilant, given there are from some of those who may not be pleased with your presence. To overcome uncomfortable, here's my advice to you:

1. Relax
Rules of the game as 'new citizens' are obliged to introduce yourself to other employees. That's when you'll see the response of your friends. If you are treated less pleasant than their peers or the 'senior', just relax. No need to take heart. Could be they're testing how strong your mental pressures facing them. Willy-nilly, like do not like, you and they will work together in team work, Enjoy all the processes running, I'm sure you'll be able to break their hearts.

2. Calm and some focus
Good for you if you have a blase attitude, despite the 'senior' in your office to be less pleasing to you. But this would be a problem if you enter in the category of very sensitive. It could be 'pressure' from the 'senior' make you less comfortable and your spirit is deadly, even severe down and make you feel inferior to join them.

You need to be a bit quiet so they can stay focused on your obligations as an employee. This is necessary so that you can complete tasks and deadlines in accordance with a desk job or position you occupy.

3. Picky friend
On the first day you work, you probably do not get no friends, except if you're really lazy socializing. But you must remain vigilant and carefully mix with colleagues at the office.

No doubt, the smell of competition in the area office would have smelled. If you're not sensitive, this could be a big problem. Your colleagues who know your strengths will be trying to get as much information from you. Make sure it does not happen. Be careful. Do not be too spread personal data or show off your skills in front of them, because maybe some of your colleagues treat you as a rival to be overthrown.

Know the Gap to avoid Termination

Being a bad sign to you, if you suddenly summoned into the boss's office, It's not about a raise or promotion that you get but the unilateral termination of the company. You are shocked, shocked, disappointed, angry, rejected or cry? It is natural course.

Termination of Employment doubt will always overshadow any worker in a company. Various reasons were trying to be accepted that the workers, ranging from global crisis conditions, the company insolvent, or the company's business declined drastically to require that companies conduct employee downsizing.

But this nightmare will not come true, if you already know the loophole to avoid layoffs, even though you are not already in the safe zone or have been appointed as permanent employees (permanent employees).


You need to know first what type of employees and deserve to be reference or targeted for the layoffs. Employees who serve at least contribute to the company and did not show a good performance is the right target, though he has faithfully worked dozens of years (loyalty) in the company, not a hindrance. High loyalty are not accompanied with good work performance, and then eat just salary blind, totally worthless.

If you already know who the target accurately, quickly secure your position. Indicate your best performance, give more contribution to the incestuous spawn suggestions and creative ideas for the company. Capabilities and potentials you seen this course will be rewarded with returns that are worth it.

Think and act productively. Do not waste your valuable time for things that are totally useless. Remember, your boss is always alert to his men who are lazy, which is just like hanging out in the canteen in work hours or relax in the chair.

Increase hold science and potential. True, a hadith of the prophet, "to learn of China", as far as anything you've walked pioneering career, never lazy to keep learning, to deepen all the knowledge and expertise. Absorbing knowledge from successful people who you Model, also read many books, because books are the window to the world.

Good employees are never selfish. That is, care for the environment around you. Remember, you do not work alone but become part of a work team. Please help colleagues who need your suggestions or ideas. Share knowledge in order to obtain mutual benefit, other than for the benefit and progress of the company, it would be fruitful rewards for you later.

Avoid things that endanger themselves. If you're already in a safe a comfortable position, do not ever try to do something that would be fatal to your career. For instance, did not complete the work according to predetermined deadlines, lying, untrustworthy and even violating company rules. Stay on the right track, then your life will be calmer.

Work is piling up, it makes us tired. However, it can certainly be overcome by effective time of work, not by directly labeling himself "overwhelmed with work"
