Avoid Friends at Worksite: There is no reason why any friends, boyfriends, girlfriends or family members should visit your worksite. Also, you need to avoid talking to them on the phone. You can get in trouble or fired for wasting valuable work time.

Good Attendance: Poor attendance costs the employer money. Be punctual and be on time. There is never a good excuse for being late to work

Dress Code: The dress code at your worksite can be different than your school’s dress code. All dress codes will vary between worksites. Certain styles can be inappropriate for any worksite (Short skirts, extremely baggy pants, too much makeup, etc.)

Communicate: Good communication requires that you listen, speak, write well, use proper manners and language. Cooperation on the job makes the job easier.

Learn The Company Rules: Know the company policies and procedures regarding absences, lateness, dress codes, telephone use, etc.

Beware of Gossips/Rumors: Gossip and rumors can stop with one person, YOU. Gossip hurts the whole office. If you can’t say anything good, don’t say anything at all!

Respect Others: Everyone is different and each person comes from a different background. It is important to respect their work, space, personalities and backgrounds.

Believe it or not, the application and hiring process was the easy part. The hard part is keeping your job. What employers are looking for are employees who have enthusiasm, initiative and teamwork.

Enthusiasm. Employers know that the most productive employees are those who like their work and show an eagerness for it. Your employer expects you to show excitement about your job. There are some aspects of your work that are not enjoyable. Focus on the positive aspects of your job. Talk about the good things. This makes for a more interesting job and it becomes more enjoyable in the long run.

Initiative. Taking initiative means doing something without being told to do so by your employer. After you have been working with a specific company for a while, your supervisor will expect you to do things without being told. Be aware of what needs to be done.

Teamwork. A dependency is a relationship in which people count of one another. People depend on one another in work situations. Each person on a team depends on the contribution on other workers.
