First of all, to become indispensable is key to preserve a job. In difficult situations such as companies being forced to reduce their staff, those who will have a greater probability to stay, will be the ones who know the process better or came up with good ideas to improve it. Therefore, not only doing your job properly is vital, but also to learn all about your company and the business.

By doing this, you may identify new challenges that can help you grow within the company and will also benefit the business. In addition, you need to keep yourself updated with the help of education. If you notice that you like your job a lot, although it's not related to your studies, why not start a new career and become even better. Be proactive and continue learning. Buy books, take online tutorials, take seminars and courses, the key to success is in your hands.

Having a good relationship with your colleagues also makes a difference. You don't need to be best friends, but cultivating respect and a good disposition to work as a team makes the office atmosphere more pleasant. As a plus, always be yourself. Being insecure or having complexes make people missjudge you or even reject you. Keep a positive attitude and be professional.
