ASPECT'S GUIDE TO SUCCESS AT WORK

Demonstrate a Positive Attitude

Evaluate the messages you are sending others. Are you:

	Greeting everyone with a hello and a smile? Attending regularly and arriving on time - to start work and after breaks?
	Asking questions and demonstrating interest?
	Finding people to help you?
	Focusing on doing the job right?
	Offering to help others?
	Avoiding gossip and negative behaviour?
	Paying attention to grooming and hygiene?
	Accepting direction and criticism graciously?
	Keeping your personal life away from work?

If you can answer most questions with a "yes", congratulations - you are making a great first impression! If there are some "no's" make a note of how you can demonstrate improvement in those areas.
