Sometimes falling into unemployment is not just a question of the national economy, because your personality can also determine if you stay in a job or not.
So that you do not fall into the figures that make up unemployment, we give you a list of expressions that you should avoid in your work context:
1. “It is not my problem” / “I am not paid for that” / “It is not my responsibility”. Denying yourself, appearing selfish or carefree limits your future opportunities, giving the impression that you cannot accept new responsibilities.
2. “It is not fair.” Injustices are committed daily around the world and at work. It is likely that complaining about it does not solve anything and remove the contrary, you make yourself a negative image.
3. “He is an idiot /” He is lazy “/” This job is horrible “/” I hate this company “. Nothing can end your career faster than insults and offenses. If there are any complaints, it is best to speak clearly without being aggressive.
4. “It has always been done the same way.” This phrase reflects little chance for innovation and it seems to be stuck in the past. It is best to debate the pros and cons or view the changes with a different approach.
5. “Impossible” / “I can’t” / “There is nothing I can do”. Are all possibilities of solution already exhausted? These words convey a pessimistic spirit and very little cooperation. Instead of refusing, it’s best to ask for help, discuss the problem, or show how much you can contribute.
6. “You should have …” / “You would have”. Appealing to feelings of guilt in a teamwork environment is not the best option, even if others are responsible for some failure. Instead, focus on talking about the future in better terms so the situation doesn’t reoccur.
7. “I am very busy” / “I don’t have time …” Even when it’s true, declaring yourself unable to perform a task takes points away from our image. Instead, it can be replaced by something like “Of course, can we discuss it as soon as this is over?”
Bad habits are difficult, but not impossible to eliminate.
Here we share some tips to improve the communication you maintain with your work contacts:
1.Record your conversations. Whether it is a phone chat or a meeting, it is rare for us to be aware of the error because we hear little of ourselves.
2.Listen to others. Sometimes it is easier to find straw in someone else’s eye. Find these errors in others and carefully analyze the impression that this type of language generates.
3.Ask a partner for help. Someone you trust can be attentive to your conversations and list negative elements found in your language.
