The need to be dependable at work is obvious, but there's a lot to it. All bosses have a feel for how dependable their individual employees are. These workers are prized because supervisors don't have to worry about them. Your path to building an outstanding reputation as a dependable worker is consistency. Be consistent in what you do - whether it's coming to work on time or finishing a report by the deadline. View consistency as the currency that earns your reputation as a dependable worker. Take initiative, don't shy away from "bad jobs" others refuse, and be a good information sharer. Your reputation will soon precede you.
