What Have You Done To Meet The Standards Of Success In Your Job?

Whatever job I have done till now, I have given it my very best.
When you are working for an organization, you learn what they require of you, what would make them happy, what would be seen as an increase in your productivity, what would be rewarded, what behaviour would be appreciated, what abilities you have would be seen as an asset, what accomplishment of yours could be vital in asking them for a salary increase etc.

When you figure all these things out, you start working towards them like I did. I managed to come up with the best work and i was rewarded for it.

I met the standards of success at my job by doing exactly what they required of me and putting in an extra effort to get recognized as one of the best people.I did outshine some of my colleagues because they worked like it was a liability whereas I worked to be successful. Even if i wasn't given monetary rewards sometimes, a pat on the back or my boss appreciating me in front of the whole team was more than enough.

You know you have reached the standard of success when your work becomes commendable and you are appreciated in one way or another.Increase in salary could be one of the criteria too.

Depending where you are employed, they will expect higher standars, especially in the manufacturing dept.  My brother once worked in this home renovation, his boss had a meeting and said I expect 100% from my employees, my brother pointed out that he was giving 100% to his job, his bosses reply was well I want 110%.  Some employers are extremely difficult to deal with.  The best you can do is the best you can do.  There are ways of improving job performance and your success will result from the effort you show.   Then again, there are a lot of politics in the workplace, do the best you can without getting too involved in "office gossip" and stay away from employees who may contribute to a negative attitude
