If you are among the hourly workforce, there’s always constant pressure to do your best. Whether you’re an intern working in a job you hope will turn into a career, you’re in a temporary position that you hope will turn into full-time employment or if you already are full-time but you’re hoping for a promotion or a raise, your performance at work is always monitored. Here are a few simple tips to stay on top of the game and get yourself noticed.
==> Be on time, or even early
Some jobs will actually take it off your pay if you’re not in your position on time. But if you’re at a company where things are a little more lenient, it might be tempting to sleep in an extra ten minutes, or run one more errand before work. If you find yourself slipping in the back door of the office a few minutes later each day, change your morning routine. It will make a good impression on everyone if you’re at your desk on time.

==> Volunteer for projects
When there’s an extra assignment or a presentation that has to be done and management asks for volunteers to help, raise your hand and join that team. Being proactive in accepting new challenges will go much further than the attitude of “I don’t have time for that, it’s not my job.”

==> Join committees
Almost every company will have some committees made up of employees to help out with extra things that need to be done, whether it’s raising money for United Way or planning birthday parties. If you join up with one of these it will show you’re dedicated to the company as well as your job.

==> Limit personal calls/texts
Years ago, before cell phones and unlimited long distance, there were pretty strict limitations on how many personal calls you could make at work. Now, even though it’s harder for employers to monitor the amount of personal calls you make during work time. But if you’re always on your cell phone or spend much of your day texting, they will know. It’s a good idea to turn off your cell phone during work hours. If that’s not possible, let your friends know that you won’t be communicating until after work, and your phone is on only for emergencies.

==> Leave personal problems at home
Everyone has a busy life outside of work, and sometimes those late nights, fights with the spouse or homework issues with the kids seep into our days at work. Everyone needs to talk about their problems, but it’s a good idea to vent to a friend or your family and not your boss and co-workers.
