BE A STAR EMPLOYEE
                                                    Source: Youth Employment Strategy

   It’s up to you to prove to your employer that hiring you was the right move. Strive to be the best you can be everyday and in everything you do.

   * Have a  positive attitude.

   * Treat everyone with respect. Mutual respect is key to a healthy working environment.

   * Support your co-workers. Encourage others. Be a team player.

  * Be a diplomat. Be calm when discussing problems, and use tact.

  * Show initiative. Don’t always wait to be told. If you see something that needs to be done, offer!

  * Be reliable. If you say you’ll do something, do it.

  * Manage your emotions. Out-of-control anger or over-the-top dramatics are not professional, and could cost you your job.

  * Speak well of the organization you work for even when you’re away from it.

  * Dress for success. Take the lead from your supervisor and co-workers.

  * Take only the allotted time for breaks, or a minute or two less.
