Personally, time management has aided me in accomplishing more at work with less time and effort, reducing stress, and improving my work-life balance.
This also has shown my managers that I’m being efficient with my time. They can trust that I’m working during working hours and will get my work done correctly and by the due date, proving an ability to continue to manage my time if promoted.

Prove Your Potential with Soft Skills
Experience and skill can get me a role, but soft skills can get me a promotion.
I’ve always viewed soft skills as the cherry on top but learned that they are the building blocks necessary to make a job more enjoyable and worthwhile, create and maintain professional relationships, and prove an enthusiasm and capability for growth.
What weaves all of these soft skills together is a positive attitude. It might sound cheesy, but believing that there’s a positive outcome in any challenging situation helps me navigate the day-to-day of my job and work better with my team.
