职场专家Alexandra Levit就给出了一些简单易行的小妙招助你在老板心中留下好印象。她建议说，首先你要先取悦你的直属上司，因为他们才是真正见证你每日工作的人。而且直属上司在你的工作评估和升职问题上也有很大的发言权。下面就是五个你需要记住的小妙招：

1. Be the can-do employee. Accept any assignment graciously and without complaining. Take a leadership role in the group even if its outside your comfort zone.

1.让“行，我去做”成为口头禅。高兴地接受每一件交给你的工作任务，不要去抱怨。即使有些工作会超出你的舒适区，也要争取在小组里表现出你的领导力。

2. Look for new challenges. Don't get reticent because you're good at your current role. Keep thinking of new ideas.

2.争取新挑战。不要因为你擅长现在的工作就沉默不语、停滞不前。始终要有新想法、新理念。

3. Practice good time management. Get assignments done before deadline. Never make your boss ask when something will be ready.

3.时间管理很重要。永远要在截止日期前完成任务。绝对不要让老板来问你某件事是不是准备好了。

4. Be proactive and be your boss' friend. Know his or her spouse and children and work to make small-talk. This will make it easier to come to your boss with ideas.

4.积极主动、成为老板的朋友。要认识老板的配偶和孩子，时不时地说上一些寒暄之词。这会让你的老板更容易记住你。

5. Keep up-to-date. Read trade publications and follow industry-relevant people on Twitter. Your boss will appreciate if you're in-the-loop about stuff they don't have time to follow.

5.与时俱进。阅读业内相关的期刊，并在Twitter上关注业界相关人士。如果老板没有时间来做这些事，而你却替老板做了，那么他们就会对你刮目相看了。
