7 Ways to Impress Your Boss With Your Work
5. Maintain cleanliness and hygiene
Your looks and appearance matter. Period. Not because you are a woman, but because you are in a social organization where how you look and dress up sends several messages to other people (including your boss) about your personal hygiene and health consciousness. When you unfailingly look all tip-top every morning and as fresh and excited as your first day, you are bound to receive brownie points from your boss! However, you must also ensure that your work-desk complements your appearance.
6. Arrive early, leave late
It might sound too ludicrous an attempt to look good to your boss, but if you see it from your boss’s perspective, an employee who arrives before time is the one excited and interested in work, rather than the one, who, though comes on time, but is like a machine and like clockwork, is too mechanical taking no pleasure and interest in work, even though he is well on time and leaves exactly when his total hours of work are exhausted. Not that you have to overtime every day, but a mere fifteen minutes or half-an-hour difference could pave the way to that much coveted promotion or hike.
7. Take the initiative
You should appear to be after getting your project done on time and effectively rather than pursuing a hike or a promotion. This is because your boss is always keeping an eye on you and he/she should never be under the impression that you work only for money because the most important projects are then not passed on to you as you are considered as lackadaisical as far as effective work accomplishment is concerned. So take the initiative yourself to get work done on or before time, follow up religiously and money will follow, because you will have effectively impressed your boss with your work.
