You want to increase chances of career success. While there are a lot of advice one can give about increasing your chances of career success, I feel the most important is that you must believe that there are no shortcuts to career success. In fact, there are no shortcuts to success in anything for that matter. And always believe that only right effort will bring right results.

Here are 5 simple techniques to get you started.

1. Learn To Change For The Better


You will always have strengths and weaknesses. While your strengths can propel you upwards in the corporate world, as you progress your weaknesses may actually pull you back. From early on, in order to increase chances of career success, learn to improve yourself and change for the better.

These traits are not confined to technical and managerial skills only. Personality traits are also important. Certain personality traits can be detrimental to your career success. For example, do you have a bad temper? Do you like to procrastinate? Are you stubborn? Know your weaknesses and improve on them. Listen and take good advice. It is never too late to change for the better. When you do that you increase chances of career success.

2. Take Action


To increase chances of career success, take action! Do not just dream. Or talk about it. You must DO. Many people tend to think that the more they talk the better they become and can inch towards their goals. Fact is, no matter how much you talk and want, unless you do something about it, nothing will happen.

Take action to increase chances of your career promotion. Action creates reality. Doing inches you closer to your goals. Thinking and talking without doing merely creates fantasies. Action gets results.

3. Have A Plan


Know where you want to go and how to get there. Have a plan to increase chances of career success. Write down your goals and when you plan to accomplish them. Commit to accomplishing your goals. Never underestimate the power of commitment.

It is also important to know who can help you get there especially when you are a newbie at work. How do you know whom to go to for help? For starters, ask. Do not be afraid to ask for help. There are more people out there who want to see you succeed than fail.

4. Evaluate What You Are Doing


Having a plan is not enough. Periodically evaluate what you are doing. Many people are very good at writing goals only to give up in a very short time. They do not have the tenacity to continue. Learn to evaluate what you are doing constantly. That keeps you on track and helps you increase chances of career success.

No one is perfect; there will be a tendency to be veered off track even when you are very committed to your plans. The important thing is to get back on track. Ask yourself, where am I? Why am I here? How do I get back on track to increase chances of career success?

5. Never Give Up


You must know that goals take time. To increase chances of career success will also take time. Whenever you are committed to a goal, obstacles will abound. They appear as if to test how much you want these goals. When challenges appear in front of you, remember to be patient and be persistent. These two qualities will help you overcome all obstacles in time.

I feel the best way to get recognised is by having a positive attitude, never gossiping.  Offering a help hand and of course doing something very innovative and remarkably great.

Believe me by doing above one would not reap immediate benefits but there is someone who is always watching you and you will definitely get recognised.

Be the real you. Give your best, don't do anything for the fame or recognition, if it is the quality what you are delivering is the best then it will sure make a difference, that is it, you will make your presence felt in your company.

Every body wishes to leave behind footprints on the sands of time......be it in an organization or life as such.......We have miles to go before we sleep and many promises to keep. They say, 'Fame or recognition is like a butterfly, the more you run to catch it, it flies away from you.....the calmer you are it comes and rests on your shoulder'. So the best way out to make your presence felt is , DON'T MAKE YOUR MOVES OBVIOUS. Work while you work and play while you play has always been the eternal mantra. Work smart , with the right go, right style, right traits and ofcourse the right attitude...........and believe you me the right results are here to flow.

Cheers

Everybody in the Higher position will be looking for an employee who can do a great job under various circumstances...to get noticed one needs to have those traits that one will be looking in you and it can vary to many things like:

Dependability -  Great employees are always dependable. They do the job they are supposed to do every time, and no one has to worry that they don't deliver the goods. A great employee can be counted to always have their work done right.

Team Spirit - Great employees are team players. They don't constantly seek out attention or hogs the limelight. Rather, a great employee works with others to make sure that the things that need to get done do get done, for the good of the company.

Attitude -Attitude is what is important to get noticed than anything else, great employees have a great attitude. Bad attitudes brings everyone down. A great employee helps make work great for everyone else by having a good spirit about their job.

And many other things with these compliment each other for one to get noticed and create their presence felt in a company....
