Work Ethic

A good work ethic is important to have around the age 16, because this is the time teenagers should be getting a job. A bad work ethic can mess up your resume for a long time. Say, if you showed up to work late every day and eventually got fired, when you apply for a new job they will call your old job to see if you're a good worker..... but your not! and you won't get hired. Awesome right? No. Get a good work ethic so you can be on good terms with your boss and be more eligible for a raise or promotion. Now what is a good work ethic you ask? A good work ethic is when you show up on time for work, (maybe even early) dress appropriately, actually do what you're supposed to do, and have a good attitude toward all. Showing up to work on time is necessary because you're probably being paid by the hour so you need to get there so you can earn all you're supposed to. Why is dressing appropriately important for work? Because clothes are sometimes statements of who you are and some people can be easily offended by it. Or you might attract too much negative attention by uh.... barely dressing! When you're at work you need to do all you can to help show your boss you are dedicated to what you do. Your attitude is extremely important in the work place because if you are happy you wont dread waking up early in the morning and no one will dread working with you.
