Discover your company's/department's corporate culture to see if you're a fit.A job contains a range of personalities,lifestyles and interests.The corporate culture is where all of these things mesh together to create a set of norms and values that give identity to your company.For example, everyone at your job may wear shorts but you like to wear pants.No one at your job smokes but you do,or all your coworkers like to get together and gossip but,you'd prefer to be alone.Not 'fitting in' may affect your advancement. 2. People like to be around people that they can relate to.Besides the home,work is the second place where you'll spend the majority of your time.So it's essential to find similar interests that you and your co-workers share as to pass your time there more smoothly.For example,did you and any of your co-workers graduate from the same school?Do you and any of your co－workers have mutual friends?Or do your children attend the same school? 3. You take on every project that's handed to you.You rush to finish your work and offer to assist everyone else's with theirs.You shorten your lunch or skip it all together to respond to phone calls and emails with the hope that your boss will notice.HE WON'T!WORK SMART!Not hard.Take on only those things that will help to show your talents and your added value to the company. 4. You do it all the time.You rant and rave about your boss' incompetence and about how much of a fool he is.How much smarter you are and,how you can do his job 100 times better than he can BLINDFOLDED.OK,that may be true but,trying to outshine him will not get you that promotion. So join forces and help your boss look good by assisting him with his projects and by helping him to become more efficient and organized. 5. Know the people that have seniority in your company and work to create an alliance.Be aware though,that the key players may not be the CEO,the Director of Operations or the Senior Executive. They may take the form of receptionist,doorkeeper or administrative assistant or someone who's been with the company for years.
