The Rainmaker Network admittedly does a lot of career prep...but what if you've already landed the internship, gig or job of your dreams? Then what? Getting a job or internship is no easy feat, but it's nothing compared to actually keeping it.

Here are some incredibly simple, tried and true tips to help make you indispensable:

1. Show up on time. Being punctual shows that you are responsible and that you respect your employer's time. It also shows that you respect yourself enough to protect your reputation from being damaged by silly little mistakes.

2. Do your job. This seems like a dead giveaway but is not always apparent. Complete your projects with the same amount of gusto you had coming into your position. Also, doing your job also means doing it well. That's right -- doing it WELL is actually built into the job description.

3. Take some initiative. It doesn't mean to you stray from the task at hand to work on ten other things. What it does mean is that you need to go above and beyond what is expected out of you for the tasks you've been assigned to.

4. Ask questions, but only after you have attempted to answer them yourself. There is nothing more annoying for a manager or supervisor to have to answer your every question, especially if there are valid sources of information available at your fingertips (i.e. the University of Google).

5. Be consistent. Also known as being reliable, it is important that your boss can depend on you on a regular basis. Consistency in punctuality, quality of work, level of initiative, and self-reliance are all things that employers want but don't necessarily ask for outright.
