Make yourself invaluable and maximise your career progression.

To make yourself invaluable to an employer:

• Embrace change and development
• Build a network of contacts throughout your organization. Join some committees and task forces. Make yourself known.
• Diversify your skill set. Learn the ability to wear many hats. The most valued players are those who can play several positions. Know your job and know other people's jobs.
• Work smarter, not harder.
• Be loud and be heard. It's not always the most qualified who get the recognition; it's the ones who best know how to market the qualifications they have. If you've learned a new skill or made a workplace improvement, get the word out.
• Be a supplier, not a taker. Look for ways to pitch in and help others get their projects completed. By helping others get what they want, you'll have a better chance of getting what you want.
• Adjust your mindset to more accurately mirror the realities of today's business climate.
