    Introduction

    Some days ago, another management professional colleague asked me why I would want to write a book upon how to get ahead in your career, because everybody who was sensible and was professional enough to think about how best he could advance in his career knew the first three basic steps so well loved by every boss – take the long hours, the hard work and the tasks which other people think impossible as a challenge, especially in the beginning of your career.

    Within a couple of years, all of this will be a part of your working habits and ethos.

    As this book has been written for a global audience. I will take both the Eastern and the Western work traditions, ethics, working conditions and atmospheres into consideration.

    Also, there are a large number of factors, and moves which may limit your career, of which you do not know, and have not guessed. So if you do not intend to have your career blow up in a tremendous boom, taking your future along with it, it is time that you start getting serious about how to advance your career, without making any moves which will limit it.

    When you read this book, you may say, why it looks like I am talking more about American work cultures, but then as this book is for a global audience, and I am talking of what I speak, American work cultures, French, British, Australian, and Asian work cultures and working environments, I have all of these to compare and to bring to your attention.

    Also, you may say that I may have digressed sometimes, on topics, which are according to you, nothing to do with your career, but I am talking about social norms, cultures and traditions in those examples. They are just for general knowledge, and possibly as cautionary tales about things you do not do, especially when you have taken up a job abroad, far away from your own country and in a strange culture away from your own land.

      Proving your worth in the initial stages

      Nepotism is a global phenomenon, so if you have got your job, on the say-so of a relative who is a senior officer in the administration, and you think that you can ride on his coat tails, to get promoted, it means the enterprise is carrying a parasite, detrimental to its own future and good health and standing in the market. That is because you do not intend to put in any sort of effort to work hard, add to the expansion of the company or enterprise through your own words, our knowledge or skills, and worst of all, you are taking up extra space which could have been taken by a person of experience and caliber and skills, who would be more advantageous to the company in the long run.

      Remember that when you start out on your career, it is the only source of income, until you diversify your income sources as time goes by. That is why, in the initial stages of your new job, you are not going to take up another job which does not allow you to give 110% to your job, sincerely, earnestly, and honestly, many young students. I knew, who were getting through college by taking up two jobs at a time, because according to them, this was the easiest way to make money to pay off their education and student loans, soon found themselves so tired that they had absolutely no energy to give hundred percent to one job, let alone both. So remember that if your boss catches you sleeping on the job, literally and figuratively speaking, because you are physically and mentally tired, he is not going to listen to any excuses that you need to pay off bills. He cannot afford you to make any sort of mistakes which may cost the enterprise dear in the long run.
