6. Don’t be afraid to say, “No.”
With that said, don’t be afraid to exercise your share of refusals. It’s true that with the country’s lack of jobs, in order to keep the one you do have, it’s no longer enough to do what’s expected of you. With companies consolidating, people are being expected more and more to go above and beyond their responsibilities. But you’re only human, and by taking on way more than you can handle you’ll risk burning yourself out, leaving you unable to accomplish your basic duties. It’s OKAY to take the initiative to get in some extra brownie points, but don’t bite off more chocolate than you can chew.
