When you work for (or with) companies in ‘1st World Countries’ – they have ‘performance expectations’ that you have to comply with – or they will terminate the relationship with you. Examples:

Conduct Your Business Affairs in a “Professional–Timely Manner” - means:

• Never tell your Team mangers that you will have your Assignment completed at a specific day and time – unless you have it completed ‘as you represented’. A Team member may need your contribution – before they can complete their Assignment. When you waste other people’s time they won’t work with you again. Do you blame them?

• Email is the major venue for communications in ‘1st World Companies’. Email is used like Pinoys use cell phone txts. If you don’t respond to your emails at a minimum of every morning and evening – no one will work with you. They’re waiting for answers – not delays or excuses.

• Double-check your work before submitting it to your Team manager/client. Then have someone else check your work. Then you check a third time. If there’s something not correct – you want to find the problem – not have the client find it.

If your Team manager/client finds it – they’ll think you’re sloppy – unprofessional – maybe even a moron. But they won’t work with you. There are just too many others seeking to become successful in the e-commerce industry. People who spent hours or days on an Assignment – then don’t spend another 20 minutes to check their work before sending it – are silly and unprofessional.
