Summarize the following:
Go beyond being good at your job; be the best at it. If you want to become truly invaluable to the company, become known as an expert in your field. Learn everything about your role first and strive to become excellent at every task you are required to do. Then, learn how to perform the tasks that your coworkers do that relate to your own. Look for extra details or facts that no one else knows. Keep up with industry news by reading trade publications and relevant news articles. By doing so, you will become the person that everyone comes to for information. You can cement your expert status by attaining industry or occupation-specific certifications, if available. Having a wider skill set can make you more versatile, which can help you branch out in your current position and remain onboard if the company decides to lay off some workers. Look at gaining skills that your coworkers have, even if you don't need them for your job. These might include technical or vocational skills. To make yourself truly valuable, you could even try learning a second language. Just make sure to learn one that might be useful to your company; there's no point in learning Russian if your company primarily operates in the United States and Mexico. Find someone higher up than you in the company and make an effort to connect with them. This mentor can provide you with deeper knowledge of company operations and advice on how to thrive as an employee. Working with this person shows your superiors that you have a desire to learn and grow within the company. It can even get your name out there as an ambitious employee. A strong network is a valuable tool that can be used to strengthen your own value at work or increase your value to a future employer. Work to build up a network with your coworkers and in other departments at work. You should also look outwardly to clients and other members of your industry. Make and maintain strong relationships with these people. It's very valuable to be known as the employee with connections that can be used to solve problems. Work to build up your network both inside your company and outside. Attend work functions, conferences, and industry events to network with professionals in your industry. Then, be sure to regularly keep in touch with your contacts. Provide your contacts with favors without the expectation of having them returned. This is a good way to solidify your position with them and construct a strong network that you can use to further your own career. Another way to increase the strength of your network is to get published in the media or industry journals. This will get your name and your company's name out there, and may lead to greater recognition and increased business opportunities. Be innovative and bring something new to the company. Come up with new ideas that could possibly be implemented across the business. Just make sure that you get credit for your ideas. Otherwise, you may be helping your boss to succeed without moving up yourself. Focus on working effectively with your team or group, as these skills are crucial to displaying management potential and usefulness to the company. Depending on your job, you may find it worthwhile to obtain higher education. For example, some positions may require a bachelor's degree or graduate degree, meaning that if you want to move up, you'll have to get the required education. Even if you don't need it for a certain position, a degree can make you a more competitive applicant for any role. In addition, it can educate you on how to increase your own knowledge and productivity. Make sure to weigh the costs of higher education versus the benefits; you don't want to be hurt by debt hanging over your head. Your company may give allowances for or provide continuing education for its employees. Talk to your supervisor and/or human resources for more information. You can also reduce your cost and time commitment for continuing education by studying online with a self-paced course. This will allow you to learn without interrupting your work schedule.

summary: Strive for expert status. Acquire new skills. Learn from a mentor. Build a robust network. Be an active participant in company projects. Pursue formal education.

Hold the Nook upside down and locate the micro USB port, which is located next to the speakers and the audio jack. It looks like a rectangular hole that you plug a cord into.It is about inch (.6 cm) wide. Hold the Nook securely with the screen against your non-dominant hand. Place the palm of your dominant hand in the middle of the back of the Nook. Use heel of your hand to create leverage when you pry the back off. You'll find a small notch on the bottom of the back cover, right by the USB port. Slide the fingernail of your middle finger over that notch. Place your other fingernails in line with the notch along the bottom edge of the Nook. Gently pull at the notch with your middle finger and press against the back with the palm of your hand. As the cover starts to come loose, slide your fingers down along the edge to remove it completely. Pull the cover off slowly so it does not bend or break.
summary: Locate the micro USB port. Place your palm against the back of the nook. Hook the notch over the USB port with your fingernail. Pry the back cover off.
