Tip of the Day: Ask for Help

If you are struggling with your job and are feeling overwhelmed and really need assistance, it is critical to ask for help as soon as possible and to give ideas/suggestions on how to make the situation better for yourself and the company. The trick is to acknowledge your struggle, but to have ideas and suggestions ready to talk about that you think will make the situation better.

Talk to your manager, HR rep, or someone you can trust that will truly try to do something to help. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness, it is a sign of strength.
