How you can move up in your career with this tiny habit

A successful and happy career is not something that just happens on its own, it’s something that you have to create one day at a time. Tom decided that after college, he would pursue his love for cybersecurity and enrolled himself on an ethical hacking course. After completing his course and attaining the certification, he started working as a white-hat hacker with a company he had always admired. After four years of his job, Tom is now a reputed penetration tester at an even bigger organization and is reaping the fruits of his successful professional life one day at a time.

His career didn’t grow to where it is today on its own, by just doing everyday tasks. Instead, it grew till this point despite his daily hectic job. No matter what field you work in, whether you are a full-time employee or a freelancer, you will have your daily to-do lists that will eat up most of your time and your weekends will be booked for rest and relaxation. As a result, you will lose focus on your long-term goals and your career growth may hit a speed bump. It is, thus, extremely important that you take out time for tiny habits that can have a big impact on your career and help you move up the ladders faster than you would otherwise be able to.

The habit that can change your life:

Finish your work at the office

This sounds strange to a lot of people. Why should you finish your work at the office? What if you have a lot of work that you need to take home after the day? The idea is that if you finish your work (no matter how long) at the office itself, then you end up drawing a clear line between your work and your personal life. Blurring the lines between work and personal life has a negative effect on your career. If you reach home with your office work every day, then you will never have enough time to do anything extra for your job. You will feel like it is already consuming your entire clock and that you don’t need to do anything more for your career.

But if you reach home with a free mind, you can focus better on your goals (professional goals as well). And you will use that time wisely to evaluate your growth at work. It is only because of this reason that Tom finally realised that he can use his personal time to work on upgrading his skill and making a 5-year career plan. That’s why he decided to take the next step after the CEH course and complete his penetration testing course to upgrade his expertise.

Doing proactive work can help you call the shots

The next step can be doing proactive work. Doing work that no one asked you to do can help you build an impressive portfolio. This is only possible if you have clarity about your career growth and goals. If you were consumed and overwhelmed by daily workload every day, then this can seem like an unnecessary burden and an over the top effort. But this is exactly what you need to do to stand out from the crowd and establish yourself as a passionate and valuable professional. 7 Signs it’s Time to Change Jobs

The next time, when you look for a better job or a promotion at your current organization, you will be in greater charge of your professional destiny because you will have already gone the extra mile and done everything to exceed the expectations of your employers, thus calling the shots to your career growth without having to leave it on what average people call ‘fate’.

Assam Education Minister Ranoj Pegu Exposes Fake Twitter Account Spreading Rumors on Exam Results, Shares Screen Shot On Social Media

It was another case of fake news in which a rumor spread that the results of Assam Higher Secondary exams had been released. The fake news spread quickly, requiring the intervention of Assam’s Education Minister, Ranoj Pegu, who exposed the details of a fake Twitter account spreading rumors about exam results.

On Friday, Assam’s Education Minister, Ranoj Pegu, took to social media to debunk the fake news that the Secondary Exams results of Assam had been released. The Minister clarified that the Board of Secondary Education, Assam (SEBA) and Assam Higher Secondary Education Council (AHSEC) are responsible for declaring the exam results, and they will be declared according to their predetermined schedule.

Additionally, Minister Ranoj Pegu shared screenshots of the fake Twitter account bearing his name and allegedly spreading false news about the announcement of results for the HSLC & HS Examination, 2024. The screenshots revealed that miscreants had attempted to spread the fake news that the results of the Secondary Exams would be declared on Saturday, April 20, 2024.

Minister Ranoj Pegu also clarified that the claims were entirely false and once again exposed how easily such false information can spread on social media. This underscores the need for readers to remain vigilant and verify information from credible sources.

SEBA and AHSEC are tasked with conducting the Class 10 and Class 12 exams, respectively. The Class 10 matric exams concluded on March 4, and the Class 12 higher secondary exams concluded on March 13. In 2023, the Assam board Class 10 results were declared on May 22, and Class 12 HS results on June 16. The results will be made available on the official websites of the board — sebaonline.org, resultsassam.nic.in, and ahsec.assam.gov.in.

Last year, the pass percentage for Class 10 was 72.69 percent. The pass percentage for the Class 12 Arts stream was 70.12 percent, 79.57 percent for the Commerce stream, and 84.96 percent in the Science stream.

The Assam Board of Secondary Education is expected to release the Assam Board 10th Result 2024 during the first week of May 2024. However, no official announcement has been issued by the Assam Board yet.

The legendary National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA, is currently looking to appoint interns!

The Fall 2024 Internship Session is currently being opened by the leading space agency and inviting applications from interested individuals, reported NASA.

Interested candidates and students can apply for the internship provided by NASA on intern.nasa.gov., their official website.

NASA’s Office of STEM Engagement on an annual basis accepts enrollment of over 2,000 students via this opportunity.

Under NASA’s pathways programme, recent graduates and students are allowed to apply for “paid internships that are direct pipelines to full-time employment at NASA”.

NASA provides internship opportunities for non-STEM students as well.

Even a virtual "launch" can get scrubbed. 🙅‍♀️

Our fall 2024 internship applications are extended until Friday, Apr. 12 and will close at 11:59 p.m. ET.

Apply: https://t.co/pUmAlqhkvB https://t.co/tzBpQH9sXc— NASA Internships (@NASAInterns) April 5, 2024

The leading space agency announced,

“A common misconception is that NASA only offers engineering internships. Please know that we have opportunities for students who are not majoring in engineering. NASA needs employees with a variety of knowledge and skills. At NASA, our engineers, mathematicians, scientists, accountants, writers, IT specialists, project managers, program analysts, and many other professionals work together to break barriers to achieve the seemingly impossible.”

NASA further added,

“Non-engineering interns may support a variety of business and program management work, including procurement, budgeting, accounting, information technology, and security.”

Eligibility Criteria of NASA Internship

The eligibility criteria for the internship is also an important factor to be taken care of. To apply for the internship, candidates must hold US citizenship and have a minimum GPA from 3.0 to 4.0 on a scale of five.

Candidates of 16 years or older can apply for the internship. The last date to fill up the application form for NASA’s internship programme is April 12, 2024.
