Be proactive
Being proactive means anticipating needs before they arise. This is a great trait of professionals. Rather than reacting to events and getting flustered, you can try to anticipate what will happen and be prepared in advance. Some ways to be proactive are to (1) arrive at work early to prepare for what’s coming that day, (2) manage your time wisely so that you can complete your responsibilities on time, (3) lend a hand to others when they need extra help, and (4) suggest solutions to problems to help make things better for everyone.

In your career, you will probably work with a team of others. Whether you work as an engineer on a project team, as a technician with a crew of workers, or a bench technician in an IT department, there will be others on your team. You need to be able to communicate effectively with your team in order to keep things running smoothly.
