40.Have you ever been promoted? If so,congratulations. If not, there might be something you can do about that. To get a promotion(提升),you need to actually be worth it! Yes,you were the top of your class in college and yes, you played a major role in your last project, but it's a fine line between letting your work speak for you and what you talk about your achievements.
Worried your boss doesn't notice your achievements? Set up a meeting to talk about what you've been working on, and ask for feedback(反馈).
But don't get too worried your achievements are going unnoticed. Many bosses believe they promote people with good personalities. Meanwhile they also focus on their ability to communicate with others.
"You should be asking me if there is anything else you can be working on to help grow the company or the project,instead of waiting around for me to tell you what to do."
Clearly,you shouldn't be asking your boss to hold your hand during every step of a project,but a welltimed"What can I do to help?"or"I noticed that task needs doing—I'l handle that,"is much appreciated.
