Improve Your Reputation, Improve Your Life

In your work as in life, your reputation is your personal currency. But what is reputation and why is it important? Your actions + what others say about you = your reputation. This simple formula, may be the most powerful leverage you have in your professional and personal life.

Whether it’s a vendor cutting you a great deal, a hiring manager considering offering you a position, or someone with purchasing power, others often decide your fate. All it takes is a small sway from a trusted contact to either get you in or push you out. In today’s highly-competitive workplace, reputation makes a difference.

When it comes to your reputation, hoping for the best isn’t good enough. It leaves it in the hands of others. Your reputation needs to be shaped and managed so it reflects the way you want to be viewed.

Today, we have to think more about reputation management than we did in the past. Not only do we have to worry about how we present ourselves in the flesh, but we also have to be aware of how we come across online.

To create a strong reputation currency, here are 20 ways to go about deliberately shaping how others see you:

1. Keep your word. Meet deadlines. Do what you say. Your word is your promise. When you tell someone that you will be somewhere at a certain time, be there a few minutes early. Turn in your assignments by the deadline, no excuses. One of the best things that you can be is a "person of your word."

2. Come up with ideas to improve something. It isn’t that most people don’t have ideas; it’s simply they’re afraid to present them — what will people think? Maybe it’s stupid. Take a chance. You’ll be surprised.

3. Express gratitude to someone who helps. We all get busy and move from one thing to another, and before we know it, several people have offered us their assistance. That's the way it is in our office. Perhaps, but make it a point to say thanks.

4. Be consistent. You need to show the same great qualities to everyone you meet everyday, bad days included. If you are great in one setting and nasty, rude, and/or cold in other environments, your reputation will suffer. People are willing to share negative experiences much more readily than positive ones. And as you know, negativity can spread like wildfire.

5. Pitch in when someone is out. Pick up the slack. Whether it’s taking messages, answering questions, or solving a problem, it says you have their back. It won’t be forgotten.

6. Ask questions. We’ve all been in meetings where stuff goes by that’s new, unclear or confusing. Ask a question. Don’t assume you’re the only one who didn’t get it. It shows you’re thinking.

7. Try not to complaint. When there’s nothing else to do, it’s complain time, particularly at lunch or after work. Complaining can be toxic, and those who do it put their reputation at risk.

8. Welcome new co-workers. There’s a reason to be the first: first impressions are indelible and you will be remembered.

9. Provide exceptional customer service. Look at these as opportunities, not interferences. They’re memorable. Customers like to talk about the times when someone went out of their way and did something special for them.

10. Give credit to others. It seems as if it diminishes us if we make a point to give a “shout out” to a co-worker. But just the opposite is true. It says we understand what it means to be a team player.

11. Offer suggestions so others don’t trip themselves up. “Would it be helpful to look at it this way?” or “Have you considered other possibilities?” Such questions can help rescue someone from stepping off a cliff, from making an unnecessary mistake. They won’t forget it.

12. Admit it when you’re wrong. It’s easy to say, “Everybody makes mistakes” or “I’m just human” when we get something wrong. But passing it off is quite different from taking ownership and saying, “I was wrong.” Both impact one’s reputation.

13. If you spot a problem, propose a solution. Identifying problems is a popular workplace pastime. Coming up with possible solutions, not so much. Show initiative. One is seen as complaining, the other as being helpful.

14. Step back to get a bigger picture. What’s going on right around us holds our attention, blinding us to the bigger picture, distorting our thinking, and causing us to react inappropriately. It helps to step back so we can see more clearly.

15. Pay attention to details. Nothing is more disruptive, embarrassing and frustrating than the wrong address or price, a phone number that’s one digit off, a misspelling or something that was left out. Reputations are made on accuracy; the opposite is also true.

16. Don’t make excuses. It’s quite simple: the opposite of making excuses is taking responsibility. Either way, there’s a reward, one you want and one you don’t.

17. Avoid having someone remind you. Digital calendars and reminders should eliminate the need for someone to remind us. It hasn’t. The offenders are just more visible.

18. Be honest. Don't use your work time for personal pursuits. Keep personal phone calls to a minimum. Don't use your work computer to check your personal facebook account. Show your employer that you can be trusted, and you may be rewarded with more responsibility, resulting in a raise or promotion, or both.

19. Welcome challenges. If all we know is what we’re doing now at work, we’re coasting. When we dare to step out of our comfort zone and take risks, we do more than just holding a job.

20. Take on extra work. Sure, you’ve got more than enough on your plate, so why pile on anything more? It lets you demonstrate your ability to shoulder a heavier load. And that doesn’t go unnoticed.

Practice these traits in your everyday life will make you the kind of person people will remember. The people in your life who demonstrate most or all of these traits are probably the people you hold in the highest regard. Their reputations precede them (in a good way) and they don’t have to sell themselves or brag, because others are doing it for them. And there is no greater value than a positive reputation, as it will open doors for you that you otherwise never could.

I loved my job because they treat me so good I was like a family to them. They didn't want me to leave but i got layoff because the contract finished. I used to work at the Verizon building as a cleaner and then supervisor checking the other workers doing their job. I really missed them. they were so good to me and i love that. Now I'm looking for a part time job near allentown because I live in allentown

There are common keywords in just about every job posting that relates to skills such as -

-Communication, multitasking, teamwork, creativity, critical thinking and leadership. These keywords or phrases are called TRANSFERABLE SKILLS that apply in all professions. They are the foundation of all of the professional success you will experience in your current career and the career you may retire in over the years.

-A review of your transferable skills - You may read about communication and think " Yes, I can see how communication skills are important and hallelujah, I have good communication skills". Take time to recall examples of your communication skills and the role they play in the success of your work.

-Same about multitasking skills - You may realize that you need improvement in this area. Whatever you identify a transferable skill that needs work - you have found a professional development project. : IMPROVING THAT SKILL. Your attention to that areas will REPAY you for the rest of your working life, no matter HOW YOU MAKE A LIVING.

7 Transferable Skills -Technical -Communication -Critical Thinking -Multitasking -Teamwork -Creativity -Leadership

These transferable skills are interconnected - For example : Good verbal skills require both listening and critical thinking skills to accurately process incoming information. And you will be able to present your outgoing verbal message to your audience that is understood and accepted.

-Technical Skills - This is crucial in the IT world or anything related to computers BUT tech skills can enhance your stability and help leverage your professional growth by staying current with tech skills of your chosen career path is the keystone to professional stability and growth.

-Communication skills - Verbal Skills - What you say and how you say it Listening skills - Listening to understand rather than waiting your turn to talk Writing skills - Clear written communication, essential for success in any career. It creates a lasting impression of who you are

-Critical Thinking Skills - Are the professional world application of all of the problem-solving skills you've been developing since grade school. Analytical or problem-solving skills allow professionals to logically think through and clearly to examine the problem, ask the critical questions, look through the factors affecting the solution and decide which solution is to keep and which to disregard. Bosses love it when employees present them a solution with the problem

-Multitasking - I've discovered that this is the most desired skill of this generation. My job requires multitasking and it is based on 3 things - Being organized, establish your priorities and managing your time. This keeps you informed about what you have achieved.

-Teamwork Skills - Teamwork asks that a commitment to the team and it's success comes first. This means you take on a task because it needs to be done, not because it makes you look good. This skill is especially important if you intend to be in a leadership role. I always look for candidates who are in management roles that are capable of understanding the critical dynamics of teamwork. So if you want or intend to be a leader- learn to be a teamplayer.

-Creativity Skills - This skill comes from the frame of reference you have for your work, professional and industry. There's a big difference between creativity and having ideas. Ideas IMO are like headaches - We all get them once in a while. Creativity is the ability to develop those ideas wit the strategic and tactical know how to bring them to life. This skills also demands that you harness other transferable skills to bring these ideas to life. From my experience - creativity springs from my critical thinking, multitasking, communication, teamwork and leadership.

-Leadership Skills - When your team believes in your competence, and that you have everyone's success as your goal - they will follow you. You accept responsibility but they get the credit. When your actions INSPIRE others to think more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are on your way to becoming a leader.

Your job as a leader is to make your team function, so your teamwork skills give you the smarts to pull your team together to work in a cohesive unit. Your technical , critical thinking and creativity skills help you correctly define challenges your team faces and gives you the wisdom to guide them toward solutions. Your creativity enables you to come up with solutions that others may not have seen. Your multitasking skills will allow you to create a practical blueprint for success that will help your team take ownership of the task and deliver results - ON TIME.

From my experience - leadership is a combination and outgrowth of all transferable skills plus the clear presence of all professional values. Leaders aren't born - they are self-made. And just like anything else, it takes HARD WORK.

So, remember to:

-Develop these skills -Make them a living dimension of your professional brand -Understand how each enables you to do every aspect of your job just a bit better -Reference them subtly in your resume and other written communications ( cover letter) -Reference them appropriately in your meetings/interviews with employers as underlying skills that will enable you to do your work well.

Most important - when these skills become a part of you, they will being greater success to everything you do.

I am in a position that has left me abandom by most all my family. I was left with a massive amount of debt and no one to offer the type of support I need financially. My whole world was ripped apart and I’m on a journey to start a new life! I’m not giving up easily and am ready to put my full attention using my creativity and skill set. Please someone help me by helping you to bring more to the table. My heart and mind is too beautiful to waste!!! Sending out an S. o. S

The community portion of Jobcase is a wonderful and diverse crossroads of education levels, language, culture, race, ethnicity, age, gender, sexuality , and faiths (or lack thereof). It represents and is represented by individuals who all have a singular purpose:

To find work and to help others.

At times, as with any large group, you may stumble upon things with which you don't agree. It is in how you react to those things and with your fellow Jobcaser that will ultimately define you on this site.

We are all here voluntarily. No one is forcing you to be a member of this community. If you see something with which you don't agree you have two options.

1) Engage your fellow Jobcasers in civil discourse (with "civil" being the optimal word)

2) Ignore it and move on

Sometimes you will see messages that are hard to understand due to poor writing. Whether there is a language barrier, disability, poor education, or some other unknown variable, if you can't understand what someone is asking, request that they clarify.

If you can use context clues to determine what someone is asking or stating, answer the question or offer a response. Do not attack them or point out their inadequacies. It doesn't make you a better person to drag someone else down. It makes you a jerk.

If a post is so ridiculous to you that it makes your blood boil, ignore it. No need to become a keyboard warrior and take someone to task. It takes a lot less effort to be kind than it does to be hateful. If you find that the opposite is true, then the problem is with you and not with the people you feel the need to attack or belittle.

In the end, we are all human beings. That is our common denominator and that alone should be good enough to lift one another up; especially when the majority of the tribe is all in the same boat.

so- my husband , who had a masters in international business & has worked for companies like AT& T & others had tried for 6 years to get hired in Phoenix. He gets interviews- but not hired. He’s also been hired & then told “ oops HR didn’t okay that”. After the drug test & paperwork sent in”. He’s also been hired by merchandising companies just to never have the training & jobs posted. He is baffled- he’s not trying for high wage of positions- we just need extra $. He wants to work but seriously cannot even get on at Walmart or McDonald’s.
Any ideas? Is it age???

Well dtp communication environment is a very friendly place soo
