Problems in careers 3

In my last 2 posts, I mentioned the issue of people having problems with their careers. In those posts, I said that the problems always arise from either behavioral caused or skill caused. Behavior refers to your comportment with your superiors and your colleagues, especially your ability to work in teams. Skill refers to your area of expertise, that is, what you studied in college. Today, we will look at the behavioral aspect of the problem.

     You should check yourself against the following highlighted points:

  

•   how do you participate in a team work?;
• how do you help your team members in finding solutions to their problems?;
• do you contribute with ideas or do you hide yourself?;
• do you put your knowledge at the needs of the Organization?;
• do you hold your knowledge for yourself or do you share it with the team?;
• are you snobbish in helping others?;
• do you respect your boss or are you always in conflict with him or her?;
• remember there is a performance evaluation process where your colleagues will evaluate you;
• what ideas do you bring to your Organization?;
• do you perform your task with joy or with agony?;
• do you give a lot of excuses for not completing your task on time?;
• do you bring your personal problems to work?;
• how much do you know about your Company's business?;
• do you know your Company's culture, values, mission statement, and vision?

Check the above points and see where you are. They will help you to find out why you are having problems with your career. They will also help you in looking for help.
