Your First Year on the Job - Attitude & Work Ethic
Research indicates that employers value a positive attitude and a strong work ethic as much as - and sometimes more than -one’s knowledge base. Their view is: New hires can be trained in the requirements of the job, but it’s difficult to “train” people to be enthusiastic, motivated, responsible, and committed to their work.
The attitudes and behaviors you exhibit in the workplace can affect not only the impression you make as a new employee, but also the overall atmosphere and productivity. So what are “attitude” and “work ethic” - and how can you demonstrate both as a newly hired college graduate?
