What Sets You Apart at Work?


What Sets You Apart at Work?

By: Zayne Hamilton

Employers are looking for fresh ideas these days. Bringing some to the table can be a big part of being a team member. So what’s the trouble? Other people have good ideas too! So what can you do to set yourself apart at work and in the eyes of your boss?

1.   Be Smart with Your Time

Nothing is more annoying than walking out of your office and seeing your employees not really doing anything.  So many instead of playing another round of cupboard basketball, sit down with your coworkers and tackle that plan that you’re all afraid to make.

2.   Don’t Be Afraid to Fail

What? Isn’t success the main part of being a good employee? Well yes, but no one will get everything right all the time. So taking the time to ask some hard questions about exactly what you did wrong on a project will help you know what you can do better. In his article on how Millennials are better office workers, Peter Economy points this out. He says, “They'll ask questions, ask for promotions, and ask why they didn't do the job correctly. Feedback is definitely the most important thing a person could receive--and millennials aren't afraid to go get it” (Economy, 1).

3.   Go Out of Your Way to Help

Now we all know a person who is in your face all the time, wanting to make everything right. That’s not healthy. But when an employer sees that you are a team player, and want to do what’s best for the company, they appreciate that. So maybe pick up an extra task here and there to take off some of the pressure from your boss.

So, in conclusion, time management, failure, and willingness are three key components to being a team player. Putting these things into practice will really set you apart at work.

Purchase Order Innovation

The importance of purchase orders  is somewhat obvious in today's business. A purchase order is simply an order that is submitted to an outside supplier for an amount of goods specified, for an amount that is agreed upon. But are there any way to improve this system? As stated, the purchase order is a vital part of the business' productivity. It governs how much material the company is taking in for the manufacturing of their product. For example, if we ran an electrical company, we would have to issue purchase orders to other companies for materials that we might need. These materials could range from wiring and electrical cables to switches and lightbulbs. But the acquisition of these items all depends on the purchase order.
