How to get over a huge work blunder
So you messed up big time at work. The good news is that you are not alone. Most successful professionals admit to having messed up multiple times.
The bad news is you have to deal with it. If your blunder gets you fired, start looking for a job and figure out how will you explain the situation to prospective employers. If your huge mistake does not get you fired, here's how to recover your credibility and career.
What could be the worst possible outcome? If you sent an inappropriate email to a client, will your company lose the account? What will it mean for your career? Will it cost you your reputation or job? Once you are mentally prepared for the worst, you can plan actions to reduce impact and initiate a recovery for your company and yourself.
Don’t act ‘hyper’
Cut the drama. Stop saying 'Sorry' excessively and apologising repeatedly to everyone while seeking their help to solve your mistake. You may be expressing remorse, but for your colleagues, you are wasting their time and thus the company's resources. To your boss, you are displaying an inability to handle pressure or take useful action.
Don’t be ‘chill’
You made a mistake and you wish to avoid telling others because it will spoil your reputation. When they find out, you act as if it isn't a big deal and have an excuse ready. This is a terrible idea. Your colleagues will believe that you do not care for consequences and are not truthful. Your team leader will decide that you lack judgement and cannot be trusted. By avoiding facts, you are denying yourself an opportunity to rectify the error and rebuild your reputation thereafter.
Own up
Come clean before someone else finds out about your error, advertises it and everyone makes negative assumptions about you. Figure out who you need to inform and apologise to. Usually this includes colleagues who are likely to be most affected and your boss.
If it is a client who will suffer from your mess up, then the sequence of telling people matters. Discuss it with your manager and client facing people first to figure out the best communication, timing and actions required. Taking ownership for your mistake displays maturity, concern and reliability.
Bring a solution
Your colleagues and your manager expect you to do your own thinking and to bring possible solutions to the table to reverse the error.
By presenting solutions, you save everyone's time and they find it easier to trust your abilities to solve the problem. If it is an irreversible mistake, then solve for what can be done to compensate. First, identify the actions that need to be taken and the people whose help will be required. If you sent a faulty shipment to a client, then you may need a few permissions for a second shipment. Second, articulate the correct communication plan to smooth ruffled feathers. Finally, spell out how will you do things differently in future to avoid such situations.
Allow for grief
It is ok to feel terrible for a while after having blundered but it is not ok to continue wallowing in it for ever. If you goofed up on a team project requiring rework and fresh deadlines, you will be mortified and will find it difficult to face your colleagues every day.
Permit yourself to feel wretched and guilty for some time. Thereafter forgive yourself, focus on your work and your positive contributions to keep your grief in check. No one has the time to remember your gaffes forever and neither should you dwell on them at the cost of performance.
Slog it out
When things go wrong, be prepared to dig deep and work really hard. Reach early to work and make sacrifices to deliver beyond expectations. Take on tasks no one wants to do, go the extra mile to exceed targets and put in effort to turn in the highest quality outcomes. Remember to make and keep promises to your team, manager and clients in output and deadlines. This rebuilds your credibility and marks you out as a person who works hard when there is a problem.
Accept micro-management
If you have messed up a deadline that is critical for your boss or your firm, it is natural for them to be concerned for the future. Accept that your team leader may micro-manage your output until you prove your reliability once again.
Have a positive attitude when you report your progress on an hourly or daily basis and help the person quickly audit and question your work. Be extra careful in meeting deadlines and quality standards and view this as an opportunity to rebuild trust. When things return to normal, you will know your credibility is restored.
Find the gold
Turn your mistake into an opportunity for learning. Once you have taken immediate actions, get a good night's sleep. After the initial agony, reflect on what went wrong and what attitudes, thoughts, communication and actions caused the error. Identify what needs to change. Most big mistakes offer solid takeaways for you to strengthen your career and join the league of the successful.
Process is critical
If you are focused on concrete goals, chances are you will forget to take the right steps and miss your goal by a mile. Though you may have a deadline and numbers to achieve, keep your mind focused on building and getting processes right.
Feelings are not important
Giving importance to how you feel is unproductive. When you dwell excessively on temporary feelings, output suffers and you make bigger mistakes. Focus on the present and the small tasks you are engaged in. That leaves no space to think about negative stuff.
Life plans are not fixed
Obsessing about your life plan and how your career is doing leads to loss of attention and mistakes in the present. Plans are based on past information while circumstances change. Review your plan every few months and focus on doing well at work every day.
Don’t seek acceptance
Do not be concerned of what people think of you. Your colleagues are too busy worrying about their own careers. Seeking popularity and acceptance leads to mistakes at work. Choose to work on what makes you happy and in doing it really well.
Guilt wastes energy, time
Observe the inner voice criticising what you are doing and the guilt that follows a blunder. Both prevent you from taking corrective actions and right decisions. Get going with a task to restore your energy levels and to make productive use of your time.

Contract Jobs - Myth Vs Reality
Though many companies have begun contractual basis hiring, there is still a lot more hype around contract jobs than there are some real facts. Many scoff at them, as sometime contract jobs are generally based on the requirement, necessity and urgency of the situation.
It's time for a reality check. Contract jobs can be an attractive option, especially if you're a working mother or a retired professional and need a regular source of income. Even if you're employed but looking to switch jobs or land a new position, contract work offers you to try out a job and keep your resume alive at the same time.
We debunk the biggest myths surrounding Contract Jobs:
Myth #1: A contract job is a low-level work
Reality: With the changing business landscape, workers' needs have also changed over the years. Both businesses and professionals have begun realizing the importance of having greater flexibility at work, especially in jobs like accounting and finance.
Professionals are looking forward to the consulting as it offers them to secure challenging projects, diverse work culture, competitive pay scale, while still working on your own terms and conditions. At the same time, contract jobs let employers fill their positions that demand years of experience – for both immediate and long-term projects without increasing the head count.
Myth #2: Contract Jobs are short term, sporadic and low paying
Reality: The salary in contract jobs vary according to the position and skills required, as in the case of regular jobs. In fact, employers are more considerate of the consultants’ needs and offer adequate variable and fixed bonuses, benefits for family and other allowances thereby making a contract job more competitive than regular jobs.
As for the tenure of the contract jobs, they offer a flexi work arrangement allowing the consultant to work for fewer hours than a full time role; skilled professionals can work as much as they want.
Contract jobs can last from a few months to more than a year or two years. Moreover, extended assignments are even more likely in the current business environment, as more employers wait for signs of a sustained recovery before adding full-time head count.
Myth #3: One cannot show a contract job on a resume
Reality: With a high proliferation of contract jobs, interim assignments have nowadays been regarded as high-level consulting projects than so-called "contract work". Recruiters very well understand that project work offers short term but valuable experience and has the ability to add to the individual's skill set. This is also one of the reasons for more and more people, especially working mothers to consider a long period of consistent contract job than a full time position.
Myth #4: Contract jobs do not let to develop new skills
Reality: Contract work generally includes projects and assignments that need specialization and a particular skill set. They can be highly challenging and demand to stay abreast with the industry knowledge and developments and offer complimentary training to help project consultants continually upgrade their skills and earn recognition.
