Many people who are currently employed may be worried about job security due to the sluggish economy. If you are one of these people, even though there are some elements that are beyond your control, you can control your pursuit of new skills and on-the-job opportunities to increase your value. Doing so makes you more valuable to your current employer and also increases your value in the job market. Here are some ways to increase your value:
1. Think of ways to streamline procedures, save money, or boost profits.
2. Think of some challenges you’re facing at work and ways you can solve them.
3. What new skills can take you ahead of the crowd? Maybe taking on a new responsibility or enrolling in a class.
4. Ask your boss what problems he would like to see resolved in the next year.
5. Step Up to the Plate: When your boss asks for someone to lead a project, volunteer. You will be viewed as a go-getter.
