10 Professional Resolutions for the New Year
New Year is coming soon and so are the heaps of resolutions that people make with it. Most of the resolutions linger around personal things like appearance and beauty. Very few people make any resolution when it comes to their professional life. Professional life is equally important and should have some resolutions too when it comes to career minded people.
So what are some resolutions you can have when it comes to your job, career and professional life?
- Quit the job you hate
Nothing is worse than dreading each day you go to work. Nothing is worth that pain in life. If you hate your job, you hate your workplace and you feel suicidal when it comes to your work, it’s best you leave that place. There are plenty more fishes in the sea. Don’t make yourself miserable over a job. It is simply not worth it. It could have a serious impact on your health. [ Read: 100 Best and Unique Happy New Year WhatsApp Messages and Quotes { 2016 }
- Enhance your skills at work
Make sure that you are contributing to the company but are also expanding your skill set in the process. Make sure you chisel your skills at the office and all the work you do teaches you something and is not a routine boring thing that you do.
- Start networking at your workplace
Just being good at your work, is not good enough anymore. You have to learn to network in and around your workplace. Throw a smile at people and start up a conversation with them. It is extremely difficult to live in a workplace where no one knows you or is ready to talk to you. You must network for your own benefit. This will help you even if you leave that job.

- Stop taking comments personally
Several people talk so many things about each one at work. You might over hear people talking something rubbish about you or they might say it to you on your face. Your boss might insult you for not doing your work properly. Give your justification for it and take a step back. Don’t keep thinking about things they said to you in matter of heat. You know you are better than that. If you keep obsessing about the things said at office, you won’t be able to pick yourself up to face another day at work.
