There is a plethora of advice on how to find a job. How to put together a great résumé, perform a killer interview, and network properly. What if you are employed and concerned about keeping your job when so many have been laid off? Every employer is different; however, there are some common rules of conduct that companies across the nation appreciate. Applied Staffing Solutions is an employment agency in Reno, NV that is here to give you the following guidelines to improve your chances of staying employed.
Companies are operating with less people doing more work. Your ability to adapt to the company’s needs in a timely manner will provide an invaluable service to your employer.
Accommodate your employer’s requests. If your “plate is full” ask for a meeting to prioritize the work. Your manager may help you re-organize your schedule or pass low priority items to a coworker who is looking for an opportunity to grow.
Refuse to list excuses when you can’t deliver results. Admit it and take responsibility when you fall short of goals. Exert yourself to succeed with the plan you and your manager design to correct deficiencies. Neglecting your responsibilities is carelessness – repeatedly not doing or not completing your job can be seen as laziness.
Like the boy who cried wolf, that line only goes so far. Eventually you have to step up to the plate and perform well. Follow through and avoid recurring mistakes.
Meet and exceed the expectations of your job. Anticipate employer’s needs and provide the information they need before being asked. Pitch in when your team is short handed due to illness or vacations. Be a “go to person” that smiles and goes the extra mile.
Be cautious about inferior behavior.
Too many absences, being late, texting or making personal phone calls on the job, and requiring constant positive reinforcement to be productive can try the patience of any employer. A lack of initiative and an inability to learn or adapt to working conditions creates inefficiency.
Make sure you understand your job thoroughly by asking questions – you are gathering information to do your work properly. Listen carefully and take notes. At a later date, if you must seek clarification, prepare a written list of questions to keep the interface on topic and brief.
Know your employer’s communication style – do they like a lot of information with constant updates or do they prefer concise reports only as needed.
Always emailing/texting information or updates to coworkers and your employer breaks down personal connections. Much of the time face-to-face interaction can solve problems quicker than relying on technology. Negative comments regarding your company or coworkers exhibits disloyalty, is an on-the-job time waster, and creates an unhealthy work environment.

According to the American Staffing Association there were more new temporary jobs in December than in any comparable period in the past 20 years.

Although other sectors continued to lose jobs at a slower pace than before, temporary help services was one of few industries that continued to add jobs.
