Have you dreamt of being ‘Employee of the year’, but didn’t know how to get there? iDiva comes to your rescue! Here are some tried and tested tips on how to grab that coveted spot Always dress well So it’s one of those days when you simply don’t feel like dressing up and a casual kurta is all you can muster. And then bam! You have a meeting with the big boss, who is wondering who you are and why you’re here. So look presentable not just for that surprise meeting, but also for the rare sighting of a handsome man who might just join you at that meeting! Your friends love you, but everyone at work doesn’t have to Practical studies and life’s experiments have proven that a person only has about a handful of really good friends who you can trust with your life. At work, do what you’re expected to: work. Even if you feel like it’s your second home, there’s no need to start another family here! You’ll have some friends and some foes, but be realistic, not everyone is going to like you and vice versa because they’re only here to work, make money and go home. Go on vacation; no one likes a grumpy employee Aren’t you beaming already? Going on a vacation is like being happily lost in the magic that unfolds in discovering any new place. It offers you a chance to leave all the stress and baggage of work behind and enjoy some memorable moments, hopefully without your phone! Not only does it calm your frayed nerves, a holiday will also helps you re-energise your system to work better when you’re back. Call your mistakes learning lessons People make mistakes all the time, but mistakes are often forgiven and forgotten if treated as learning lessons. The first thing you do if and when you make a mistake is to own up and take responsibility. It’ll not only imply that you’re aware of what you did, but it’ll also earn you some respect and keep you from faltering again. So feel free to have some blonde moments; just be sure to learn from them. Provide solutions Being the damsel in distress only works in films, so instead of posing problems or coming up with questions, think of solutions in advance. For example, if you’re working on a shoot and your model ditches you a day before, don’t go whining to your boss about it. Instead, start fixing the problem instantly. Call your contacts who will help and find a model. Then go to your boss and explain how you saved the day. Then, turn sideways and wait for a pat on the back! Cry in the restroom Women have a love/hate relationship with tears; sometimes we cry in frustration, sometimes it’s comforting. However, why go and display this personal relationship at work? People who display their tears are often seen as weaklings, so if you want to cry, go to the restroom! You’ll soon see people whispering, “She’s such a strong girl; she handles things so gracefully. She’s my hero!” Soon, you’ll be crowned ‘Employee of the year’.
