Depending on how long you have been at your job, things may be going great or there could be some tension.

That said it is important that you not do anything to work yourself out of the position in the first place.

Doing certain things could put your job in jeopardy if you are not careful.

So, what might you need to be careful of so you do not end up on the outside looking in?

Don’t Make a Mistake at Work You Will Regret

In looking how to best make your work situations work out, keep these things in mind moving ahead:

1. Performance on the job – Of course the type of performance you put in at work will go a long way in determining your fate. With that in mind, do you feel as if you are giving it 100 percent each time? While you may have the occasional day where work is not your top priority, do not let that become the norm. Too many days like that and you could be out of the job before you know it. If having any struggles on the job, talk to your boss about them. He or she may be able to come up with a solution that does not end up jeopardizing your job to begin with. It may be a simple fix or a little something more involved. The key is to find solutions so you can get back to be an exemplary employee for some time to come.

2. Trouble with law – Another monkey wrench that can be tossed into your quest for success is trouble with the law. That said are you aware of any warrants out there with your name on them? The warrant could be for a variety of legal matters. If you work in Florida, go online and do some research. See if your name in fact comes up during any searches of Florida warrants. If it does, it is best to deal with the matter in an expedient manner. This might include the need for legal counsel along the way. Get the matter taken care of before authorities show up at your job looking for you. Once you have a record and it is out there for employers to see, it can be tough. That is getting your foot back in the door when it comes to working again.

3. Being noticed for the right things – Last, you want to stand out at work but for all the right reasons. With that in mind, do not be the person people look to as the source for office drama. Many offices have such drama whether they want to admit it or not. Even with that being the case, you do not want to be the focus of attention when it comes to drama. You want to be the focus as one who goes the extra mile in being a team player, contributes at office meetings and so on.

When you are on the clock for work, make sure you are not doing anything that could get you off the clock permanently.
