6 Ways To Secure Your Current Job by careercrew1: 9:26am On Jun 21, 2016
Most people all over the world tend to lose their jobs easily or get sacked due to lack of job security. Many companies today are either downsizing or outsourcing job roles in order to cut down financial cost.

This article will help and guide you on how to stay relevant in your current work place and secure your employment.


Be ready to take up extra job task:

It is advisable that you display a can-do attitude every time at work, never complain when given an extra task or assignment, never be in a hurry to leave the office and be willing to help your colleagues or boss to complete their work.


Acquire and develop new set of skills:

Ensure that you acquire and improve on new skills needed for your job role that none of your colleague have. Also ensure you upgrade your educational background by going for professional courses, master’s programme, training, or development courses. This will improve and increase your performance and put you ahead of others thereby making you an invaluable asset to the company.


Remain positive and don’t complain:

Avoid complaining when given an extra task to do. Do not complain to your or supervisor about meeting deadlines or target given, rather remain focused and positive.


Be friendly and noticeable:

Be friendly right from the receptionist to your fellow colleagues and even your boss. Never fail to say “Hello” and get acquainted with other staff members. Whenever there is a group discussion, either work related or not, try to contribute positively and constructively to be noticed and recognized. Remember, you are not valuable when you fail to be friendly to others or when nobody knows you.


Be very punctual:

Make sure you come to work very early on a regular basis and try not to be in a hurry to leave the office once it is 5pm, rather use the time to complete an extra task and get to know your boss better. Doing this shows your boss that you are making extra effort to ensure the successful performance of the company.

Update your CV/resume regularly:


Updating your resume regularly gives you an upper hand in applying for internal vacancies faster. When your resume is current, you don’t need to rush to update it again thereby avoiding making mistakes on your application.

Following all these steps will sure make you very relevant to your colleagues,boss and employer

In the place I work,none of these will ever work there
Be ready to take up extra job task:
They will say you are only after extra salary for the extra task


Acquire and develop new set of skills:

They won't notice the new skills you acquire,instead they will start recruitment to get new people that acquire such skills just not to pay you more


Remain positive and don’t complain:

You not complaining means you don't do anything so you can't complain when they just pay you to sit down.if you are working you will definitely have something to complain about.

Be friendly and noticeable:

If you are friendly and noticeable then you must be dating the Oga @ the top nd you are on your own.cos nobody will trust you

Be very punctual:

If you very punctual that you resume. 30mins before your boss. Work starts 8am your boss do resume 7:30am nd you do resume before him 7am just to open the office before he arrives, before you know what is happening,your boss will start coming to work by 6:30am won't you sleep again?

Update your CV/resume regularly:


Update your resume and you will think they will notice it when you are acquiring more certificates than your boss? You are on your own oooo

That is how it is in the place I work.

I totally disagree with you. No company will lay off its best staff. Most companies will lay off staff who refuse to step up their game or develop themselves. If you are not doing something to keep up with the change of Business, you will be unemployed and thats a fact..
