Effective Work Habits For Fresh Graduates

Effective Work Habits For Fresh Graduates

1.   Volunteer for assignments

One of the best ways to signal that you are a keen learner and are not afraid of hard work is to volunteer for assignments. Especially assignments that no one seems interested to do. However, before that do assess your own skills and knowledge to see if you can confident in completing the task in full and perfection. Do remember one thing. Do not be too confident, under promise and over deliver. All this will turn you from perfect opportunity into mess.

2.   Be nice to people

Be nice to people regardless of their rank and designation is just common courtesy. It sounds philosophical but when you are nice to people they go out of their way to help you. Being new in an organization you would never know what sort of help you would need.

3.    Prioritize your work

Normally we love to work on things that are close to our hearts. But often these may not be the most urgent and important in our list of task. When you select works you are more interested in rather than work more important or urgent, you lower your chances of success. When you prioritize your work, you are more productive and that increases your chances of career success.

4.   Stay positive

When you are new in the working environment it is very easy to feel down because you are not used to the working system, new people to deal with and maybe there will be office politics to deal with regardless of how little. Be above all these and stay positive in the face of challenges. When you are positive you remain focused and make better decisions and therefore become more productive.

5.   Highlight a problem but bring solutions

Good work habits are to bring solutions each time you highlight a problem to your boss or management. You need to remember that when you bring problems and not solutions, it is often construed as complaining.

Chernobyl Nuclear Accident

Key facts:

* The cloud of radioactive strontium, caesium and plutonium affected mainly Ukraine and neighbouring Belarus, as well as parts of Russia and Europe.

* UN agencies have said some 4,000 people will die in total because of radiation exposure.

* The Greenpeace puts the death toll far higher than official estimates, with up to 93,000 extra cancer deaths worldwide.

* The Chernobyl Union of Ukraine, estimates the present death toll from the disaster at almost 734,000.

* Chernobyl engineers shut down the last functioning reactor, Number Three, in December 2000. Radioactive nuclear fuel is still being removed from the plant.

* The 'Sarcophagus' was built in six months after the explosion. It covers the stricken reactor to protect the environment from radiation for at least 30 years.

* Ukraine is seeking a further 600 million euros ($840 million) to help finance the new convex structure which will slip over the ageing 'Sarcophagus' and allow the old reactor to be dismantled.

* Officials say it could be up to 100 years before the station is completely decommissioned.

* Wildlife has made a comeback in this area and there are said to be more than 60 different types of mammals living there including wild boar and elk.

* The first reports about long-term radiation damage have been published, and the results are there is a tendency to attribute increases in the rates of all cancers over time to the Chernobyl accident.
