It happens to everyone eventually on his or her professional journey. Inevitably, they find themselves going through the motions every day, feeling uninspired. If this describes you at the moment, we’ve got some tips we like to share around the Chicago On-site office to help you move out of the doldrums and back into the action in no time:
• Shake It Up: Falling into a routine is the number one cause of career slumps. Think about it. When we’re doing the same thing daily, we go on autopilot. Try focusing on each step and evaluate if there is a way in which this task can be done simpler, faster, or automated. Challenge yourself to up the game and deliver more.
• Volunteer for a New Project: Around Chicago On-site, people who step up to bat and are willing to take ownership for a project tend to get plenty of notice. If you’re willing to stretch your comfort zone and do something outside of your ordinary responsibilities, you might find you’re in prime position for the spotlight, hence bigger and better opportunities down the line.
• Always Be Learning: Whether it’s training offered through the company, or finding new avenues to acquire knowledge on your own, when you learn, you grow. Think about what skills you need to brush up on to get to the next level and what educational resources will get you there. From online tutorials and books, to taking classes, there are plenty of ways to enhance your skill set.
When our people follow these practices, they rise higher, faster. Check out Chicago On-site’s Newswire feed to see whose career is on the move.
