This article is to give some tips to get your work noticed by your boss.
Imagine you have joined a new company and of course your team leader,project leader, manager everybody will be noticing how well you are performing.In a fast paced corporate environment,after a while,we are not sure whether our work are being noticed by our next level bosses.It is really important to put some efforts to boost your individual status and personal kudos for your work.
The best way is to step outside normal working routine.For example,if you have to process "X" number of transactions each day- and so does everyone else-then processing more wont do you that much good.
If you submit a report to your boss of how everyone could process more transactions , then you will get noticed.That makes you to stand out from the crowd.Also you should send the report occasionally and sticking to some rules.
Never stand still:
Most people go to work daily thinking about to return back to home at the magic time.Most of them think about next coffee breaks.But you should be busy in planning and executing next maneuver.Doing the job is not an end game for you-it is merely a means to an end. And the end is promotion,success, learning,more money, more contacts and experience.
Volunteer carefully:
A lot of people think that if they say "Yes" to everything , they will get praised, noticed.Not true.A clever manager will use this"i will do it" mentality and at last you will end up with more work.Before you put your hand up to volunteer for anything,think very carefully.Ask yourself various questions.
Carve out a Niche for yourself:
Carving out niche means spotting a useful area that no else does. It might be as simple as spreadsheets,report writing,company software,budgets or understanding the system.This makes you to stand out from herd and gives you independence and a superior quality.
Under promise and over deliver:
If you know you can do it by Wednesday,always say Friday. This is not dishonest,merely prudent.But don't be too blatant when you do this , it should be pleasant surprise not a frequently used tactic.
