Vijayanand’s Answer
Three questions that you should ask yourself every day
- Am I relevant - this comes with aligning your goals and work with your team's objectives
- Am I making an impact - this is the work you put in to achieve the goals and create a differentiator for yourself
- Am I learning & growing - this is all about - what does this mean to me
If you answer a "no" to any of these questions, you should rethink the job you are in.

Aside from the things noted above, I think most importantly you need to ask yourself if you are happy within the job. In the end, you need to like your job and most other things should fall in line!

- How do I make my boss a hero? Whether at home or work, you should always thinking about what you do and how it affects your boss.
- This step requires you do some work; figure out where you want to be in 5 /10 years. Are you moving towards or away from that person in your current job. What do I need to do to move towards my 5 year goal.

Gloria’s Answer
I would say that any job you apply for you need to think about these three things: the cultural of the company, what expectations that they will have of you that are not in the job description, and what growth opportunities there will be for your role.
