Being good at work is out-dated and every day another business (small or large) is realizing they’ll do better with remarkable workers and not simply those who are good at their job. This leaves you with two options.
Do you stay with the job description you were given, the task list you’ve memorized? Do you show up on time? Do what the boss asks you to do, perhaps a little quicker than the boss has asked? Do you speak up at meetings because it’s your responsibility to say something? Do you stay until you’re pushed out?
Or do you become remarkable? Do you find a new way to make an impact and add to your job description? Do you quickly do the essential tasks not so you can go home early but so you have time to try something new, maybe fail, maybe get embarrassed? Do you become remarkable?
Yes, doing a good job will get you a paycheck and possibly a little praise for a while, and if you want to become remarkable, you can. It only requires you to begin thinking about the big picture and the dent you can make in it. It requires you to analyze your world view and define your calling.
For those who keep getting rejected, who can’t get the job they want, who don’t know why they haven’t gotten a job offer, it’s likely because the brand, agency, business, leader got smart and isn’t looking for someone who can do a good job anymore. They want someone remarkable.
Instead of settling on the first thing you can get or staying at the job you’re at until you’re kicked out, I wonder why you wouldn’t become remarkable?
Stay Positive & Become Your Potential
