The extras can get you promoted

1 Dress and look the part

If you want to get ahead in an organisation, dress as if you work at the level you hope to reach next. This is not always possible, but at the very least be clean and presentable. Wear clothes that fit well and look good on you. Copy the clothing styles of others in the organisation who are successful. Even when your co-workers see you away from work, present the image you want for yourself at work.

Another good tip is to get to work early each day. Use this time to list what you plan to get done that day. At the end of the day, leave at least a few minutes after quitting time. Let the boss know that you are willing to stay late to meet an important deadline. If you do stay late, let the boss know! Some employers may not want you to work beyond your regular hours. They fear problems with governmental agencies that may force them to pay overtime wages. If this is so, do what your employer wants you to do, but make it clear that you are willing to help in any way needed.
