Mashable.com run an
article on the above subject recently. They are not industry-specific but
applicable across the industry whether you are in the finance, IT, engineering
or media. I suppose the examples given are by people who had already been in
the working world for a while and they had been proven useful over time.
I would like to add two
more principles that I think are particularly helpful from my observation.
Be credible – people like
to deal with people that are reliable. Be the “go-to” person. Build your
reputation based on that. You might have skills or talent but if you lack
credibility, no one wants to have anything to do with you in the long run.
Be helpful – this seems to
be so easy but trust me, some people underestimated the power of lending a hand
to help someone who is in need. “I owe you one, mate” – you would not know the
meaning or power of your act until you desperately needed a favor yourself. But
if you do not start sowing when you can, you won’t be able to reap it in the
future.
