If you’re in a rut at work, it’s probably because the excitement of having a brand new job has worn off. You can get that feeling back. After all, you’re doing exactly what you want to be doing in life! That should be reason enough for your happiness. If not, read on.

1. Remember – How did you feel when you received the job offer? Were you excited for the chance to learn from your peers? Invite a few coworkers to lunch. We’re you excited about the drive? Crank up the tunes and take some time to yourself. The moral is, remember exactly what you felt in the very beginning and regain your passion.
2. Smile – Smile until you actually start to believe that you’re happy to be there. The upside? You’ll make more friends at work. Everybody loves a happy person.

Make no mistake, the way you dress at work is a direct reflection on your judgment. Whether there’s a strict dress code or no specific dress code at all, you should always come to your office dressed for success. Make sure you steer clear of these obvious “do-not’s” when it comes to an interview or day at work!

1. Don’t dress like you’re going to a bar or club: Plunging necklines, tight clothes, and any heel more than 3 inches is a huge NO!
2. Do your job: Make sure (if you’re hired) that you don’t police the area. What we mean is, don’t tattle on your co-workers for leaving dishes in the sink or waste in the bathroom. If it’s truly bothersome you can tell the person that oversees that particular area. Don’t tarnish your reputation.
3. Leave your parents out of this: I guess this shouldn’t even be said, but if you’re in trouble at work don’t include your parents. It’s not a parent/teacher conference. You were adult enough to get this job alone (we’re assuming), so you’re more than capable of handling things on your own!
4. New-Hire Rules: If you’re a new hire you should be on your absolute best behavior. Show your co-workers and superiors that you have staying power! You want to show them that you’re a wonderful asset to their team.

You should be taking these opportunities seriously, because you want to be taken seriously. Do everything you can to prove yourself in a professional environment, and you will climb that business ladder in no time!

There are three common myths about women in the work place. Please notice very carefully that we said myths. Let’s debunk them, shall we?

His job is more important – Although this has been what we’ve been brainwashed to believe, but the truth is you should be equal. After all, if he loses his job, you’ll both be relieved to remember that your job is still intact.

You have to quit your job when you have kids – Husbands don’t really take more time to stay home with the children, and that’s okay because there’s nothing like a nurturing mother. Just balance the two. Be a powerhouse.

Men and Women are equal in the workplace – Although we’d love to believe this, we still earn about 20 cents less than the average man in the workplace. This can be fixed by making your skills known in the workplace. Be firm and professional. Do your job better than anyone in there!

We understand that your credit score is probably not perfect. We also understand that you blame your blunders on your irresponsible past. Well, now you’re grown. So, it’s time to take control. We’re right there with you. Do you want some helpful tips?

1. Check your score – you get one free credit report a year. Make sure you grab yours and use it wisely. Print it out and use it as a reference point. Go through your credit report and handle any outstanding debt or indentify theft red flags such as credit cards in your name that you don’t even remember opening.
2. Don’t Over Apply – It hurts your score each time you apply for credit, so make sure you use this few, far in between. If you’re apartment hunting, make sure you take a current printout of your score. The same thing goes for loan seeking.
