Any office has two kinds of people, a group that works hard but is never noticed and the other who immediately spring to mind. The second kind are the ones who are noticed and at the forefront of all activities. Career success means more than working hard, being qualified, meeting crazy deadlines, and being diligent. To be truly successful you need recognition from the boss.
In order to be remembered and noticed by the boss you will need to:
1.Be friendly and pleasant. Have a nice thing to say to everyone, ooze good manners, and have a ready smile and caring attitude. Dont be brash and ride rough shod over others or be judgmental.
2.Refrain from gossip. It is the one thing that can make life uncomfortable. Know whats happening in the office but stay away from discussing it or spreading things however tempting it may be.
3.Update your skills and knowledge constantly. The world today moves at a fast pace and one needs to keep up with technical innovations as well as global business trends. Make all efforts to be ahead of developments in your field of work.
4.Be efficient in your work and have facts and figures at the tips of your fingers....
