8 Tips to Get a Promotion

5.Go the extra mile

Sometimes doing your job may not be enough for a promotion. In competitive work environments where everyone is vying for a raise and are doing their work efficiently, you need to do the extra effort that will make you stand out.

6.Don’t get into arguments

7.Don’t bitch

An office is not a place to make friends. So, though you ought to be friendly with everyone don’t become so close to anyone that you start gossiping and bitching about your other colleagues with them. You never know when they may blab out such things and make you look like the evil gossiper at work whom everyone shuns.
