How to keep your job

There are no magic ways to go about keeping your job. However, the following tricks may be helpful:

• If there are manuals that describe your duties, read them.
  
  
• If the company provides you with training, take notes or listen carefully and try to put what you learn into practice.
  
  
• You are allowed to make mistakes. If you make one, apologize and try not to do it again.
  
  
• Ask questions soon when you start your new job instead of taking liberties that may have consequences that are unknown to you.
  
  
• If you are on a team, introduce yourself to your coworkers and ask them to explain their duties. They will be able to help you if you need it.
  
  Then, take your breaks at the same time as your colleagues and try to maintain a good relationship with them. However, take care that your breaks don't get too long. Attend meetings and social activities so you get to know your new coworkers.
  
  
• After a few weeks, ask your boss if he or she is satisfied with your performance. This would be a good time to improve in areas where you are lacking. You will show that you are eager to improve and are proactive and conscientious.
  
  
• Show good humour, motivation and alertness. Give it your all and stay positive: there are no problems, only challenges and solutions!
  
  Now, it's all up to you!
