Qualities that Define a Hard Working Person

What qualifies a person to be categorized as a "hard worker". He/She would have to be willing to do the work, and not only do it, but do it right. Efficiency, things such as showing up on time, and getting the job done in a decent amount of time. A person would have the knowledge to be able to do their work.

Just as the cell is basic for life, being efficient is the basic factor of all hard workers. This is extremely important, it ties in with the other factors of the hard worker. Bosses look for people who are efficient, people who get the job done the best and fastest way. Efficiency is not only better and faster but it is also cheaper. I worked for a gentleman that always told me "In today’s world it’s better, faster, and cheaper", and I can prove that true today in anything that is done, for example anything that used to be done by people on such as an assembly line was done with human labor, this has now changed to computerized robots. Because it is cheaper to have a robot that only requires a little bit of maintenance now and then compared to a person that has to have benefits, lunch breaks, and other such luxuries.

Another factor of efficiency is tardiness. Tardiness is a big factor in the work place. No matter who a person works, for they will not keep their job if there is a problem getting to work on time. The one about your car not starting only works so many times before they say, "You’re Fired". Bottom line is don’t be late. If there is one morning where the car doesn’t start, the most important thing to do is call in and tell the employer what happened. In this case forget about the car. Fix it later, just find a ride to work.

... before. The jobs that are on the list should be completed in order of importance. This will show both efficiency and a willingness to do the job.

A day would consist of (1) coming into work on time, (2) make a checklist for the day consisting of the activities not done the day before, and the important activities that need to be completed that day, and (3) a positive attitude and willingness to complete the jobs you have assigned yourself that day.

These points are just three of many that could be used to describe a hard worker, they are the three that I fell are the most important. With a good mix of knowledge, punctuality, and willingness to do a job well anyone can get a job. The idea to work hard is in everybody, it’s just finding a way to tap into that ability in yourself. Using these methods will help land a job and keep that job for a long time.
