5 Traits Of People Who Are Respected At Work (And Get The Most Career Opportunities)

Have you ever felt like you’ve been taken advantage of in your career? Do you feel like you are not receiving the respect you know you deserve?

Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon to be disrespected or taken advantage of in the workplace. J.T. O’Donnell, Work It DAILY’s CEO and founder, recently had a call with a client who is extremely successful, but has not been given the respect they deserve in their career.

It’s always heartbreaking for her when clients tell career stories that are riddled with situations where they have been taken advantage of. This recent client was so tired of not being respected and during the coaching call asked: “What is it going to take J.T.? What is it going to take for me to get into one of these environments and not be taken advantage of?”

J.T. wasn’t exactly sure what to say at first, she had to think about it and get back to the client. After some thought, she put together a list of traits for people who are respected at work and therefore get more career opportunities.

We believe these five traits are something everyone should hear…

Here’s what’s going on in the news (related to careers of course):

• Sony is laying off PlayStation employees.

• College grads are underemployed. Is higher education really worth it?

• When is it okay to have an 8am meeting?

5 Reasons To Make SurveyJunkie Your Next Side Hustle

There are several reasons why someone might choose to have a side hustle as an online survey taker for SurveyJunkie. Here are five possible reasons:

1. Flexibility: Online survey taking allows for flexibility in terms of working hours. As a survey taker, you can typically choose when and where you want to complete surveys. This flexibility is especially beneficial for individuals who have other commitments such as a full-time job, studies, or family responsibilities.

2. Extra Income: One of the primary motivations for having a side hustle is to earn additional income. SurveyJunkie offers compensation to survey takers for completing surveys. While the income may vary depending on factors like survey length and complexity, it can be a convenient way to supplement your regular income or save up for specific goals.

3. Low Entry Barrier: Starting as an online survey taker usually has a low barrier to entry. SurveyJunkie, for example, allows individuals to sign up easily and start taking surveys without requiring specialized skills or experience. This accessibility makes it an attractive option for people looking to earn money without needing extensive training or qualifications.

4. Work from Anywhere: Online survey taking provides the opportunity to work from anywhere with an internet connection. Whether you prefer to work from the comfort of your home, a coffee shop, or while traveling, as long as you have access to the internet, you can take surveys and earn money. This flexibility can be particularly appealing for digital nomads or individuals seeking location-independent work.

5. Variety and Engagement: Participating in online surveys exposes you to a range of topics and provides an opportunity to share your opinions. This can be interesting and engaging for individuals who enjoy expressing their thoughts, providing feedback, or learning about different subjects. It can also serve as a way to stay updated on market trends, consumer preferences, and new products or services.

How To Convey Your Authentic Skills In Job Search

In the video above, J.T. explains how using video lets you better explain your skills to employers, recruiters, and hiring managers.

If you’ve ever felt like your resume isn’t conveying your skills the way you would like it to, you’re not alone. For many of us, we would need an entire document to fully explain our unique skillsets. Unfortunately, recruiters and hiring managers won’t want to read something like that, they just don’t have the time.

However, they will watch a video.

That’s why we love the McCoy app. McCoy lets you record videos and turn it into a reel that you can share with employers. It’s a great way to make sure your skills are being conveyed the right way, while also being engaging. Using this technology can give you a competitive advantage against other candidates. Sending a McCoy reel is going to grab the attention of any recruiter or hiring manager and give you a leg up in the hiring process.
