How To Perform Multi Tasking And Time Management Skills
Your professional career will benefit from understanding you skills
. Some skills can be seen in both a positive and negative light. A balance needs to be found when working in the work world and when presenting these skills in a job interview.
Multitasking is both a positive and negative trait. Being able to do many things at once can be good in some cases. However, it also can be viewed as your being ineffective at honing in on one project until its completion. Make sure you are able to decide what is the most important and do that first.
When someone says they have a strong work ethic they assume that everyone will see them as hard worker. Well, you can be a hard worker but an ineffectual one. Being at the office the longest does not mean you got the most done or at the best quality. Make sure you just don't have limited time management ability.
The assumption that being an over time worker is a good thing is wrong. It can be seen as an ineffective use of time and lead to burn out. Work hard when you need to and ease off and step away as needed.
Employers want someone who is grounded in a realistic approach. The overly optimistic person will be viewed with skepticism. You will be seen as not really being in touch with reality.
There are others relying on the date given that you had no real chance to make. Learn to make a better assessment of the length of tasks. Honesty is better.
While confidence is important, out and out bragging in the office is not a good idea. You do not want coworkers to be jealous or resentful. There is a line between making sure management knows you are contributing and over doing it.
The work world sees many skills as both negative and positive. It will help your career to be aware of this fact.
