Workplace golden rules For Happy Life!

What are the skills/factors that help in getting an internship/full-time job in the US?

A question that people generally ask their peers and is worth it. It’s a country of dreams and hopes for each individual who travels from their home country along with many financial dependencies. But there are very few who ask what skills they need to survive in a corporate/company they gonna work with. Along with technical knowledge, there is some stuff that organizations generally don’t teach/share with their new joiners but do expect and add that, “Didn’t you learn this in your undergrad ?”

I am writing this blog to share some key takeaways:

1. Always be clear in communication. Learn to write emails
2. Always have a habit of “listening.”
3. Have a habit of taking notes in a book in all your meetings and maintain a TO-DO list.
4. Maintain transparency among team members
5. Even if you are an introvert, don’t restrict your interaction with employees you have daily meetings with. Approach all employees working laterally and vertically. They should know that you exist.
6. When you interact with colleagues, ask more about them and speak less but something impactful (USP) about you in your first chat.
7. No one is perfect, and all have scope for improvement. Don’t wait for year-end to get feedback from your manager. Do ask your colleagues for feedback timely.
8. Politics exists at all levels, and promotions get stuck if your manager doesn’t like you. To avoid that, follow point no. 7
9. As per the human mindset, dogs are cute, and lions are dangerous. Similarly, people sometimes will be very good to you and sometimes even screw you. So, as mentioned in the book — “The Rudest Book Ever,” consider people to be weird instead of Good or bad. That won’t hurt you.
10. Allow subordinates to take leaves to spend time with family.
11. Never disrespect your colleagues in front of others.
12. Always give credit to your team members.
13. Love your work, not the company. It sounds a bit harsh, but it’s true. Remember that except for the company owner, mostly all are working “at-will” basis. Meaning that either you or your organization may terminate your job at any time and for any reason
14. Never interrogate team members’ personal lives and always maintain a distance as far as personal matters are concerned.
15. Be open to suggestions and new ways of working.
16. To reduce reduced workplace conflict learn how to handle personal issues at work. Don’t let emotions/personal life impact work and vice versa.
17. Never make any relationship with the same desk people. Trust me on this. Just trust me.
18. Always support and motivate subordinates for personal growth and learning.
19. Never give up. Everyone has faced struggles. It’s essential to learn how to handle it and how you make the most of it that matter the most.
