Need a raise? Try these tips.

    Exceed their expectations. Even experts agree that essential to the advancement of your career is not only to do what is expected but to do an impressive output of the task that is given you. In other words, if you give more, you get more.

    Follow instructions. Make sure that what you are doing is the one your boss wants to get done. You may be able to do the best job in the world, but if it is not the one your boss wants, it will hold no value.

    Maintain good rapport with your fellow workers and your other contacts in your field. Good rapport does not mean you have to entertain rumor mongering and flirting. Keep a neutral and civil relationship with your co-workers that is enough to keep you approachable yet maintaining the right amount of respect each person in the company deserves. The company will always remember you positively for your professionalism.

    Keep you boss aware of your accomplishments. Often when an employee is not appreciated, it is simply due to a matter of lack of communication. Never underestimate the value of a written report of your accomplished tasks. They will come in handy.

    Be decisive. The ability to make decisions when needed is a must. You'd be surprised that many workers don't have this trait. They find it easier to pass the decision to the next fellow, because they cannot make a stand.

    Be willing to take in responsibilities beyond your assignment in emergency cases. This does not mean you have to be a push-over. Make sure your boss approves of this if you need to go on a rescue mission to save a task a co-worker cannot handle. If you are young and aiming for a good future in your line of work in your present company, this is a very good gesture.

    Continue studying to be well informed. Attend trainings and seminars to be well informed of the innovations in your chosen field. Develop your talents. Be useful in the community. Do not stop developing yourself. Someday, these will be mutually beneficial for the company, the community and most of all for you.

    1. 超出預期。職場中，并非做完份內事就足夠了，更重要的是出色地完成所交予的任務。這是職場晉升的關鍵，專家對此亦是深表認同。

    2. 執行指示。要確認你現在所做的是老板希望完成的。或許你有能力做出世界上最為出色的工作，但如果并非老板所需要的它便一文不值。

    3. 與同事及同領域熟識人士保持良好關系。保持良好關系并不意味著你得去造謠八卦或賣弄風騷以取悅他人。相反，維持與同事不偏不倚且和氣的關系既能保持你的親和力又能為你贏來每個員工所應得到的尊重，公司也會記住你的職業氣質。

    4. 讓老板不斷留意你的汗馬功勞。一名員工得不到欣賞往往只是欠缺溝通。永遠不要小覷你工作的總結報告，總有一天它們會派上用場。

    5. 具有決策力。適時的決策力是必需的。讓人吃驚的是，許多員工都不具備這樣的能力。畢竟不能獨當一面的他們把決定權推給他人比自己做決策容易很多。

    6. 樂意承擔工作范圍外的緊急任務。這并不意味著白干活。對同事無法完成的工作，展開營救工作前必須征得老板的同意。如果你年輕且立志于在目前的公司與行業中贏得一個光明的前景，這便是一種很好的姿態。

    7. 繼續學習保持靈通。參加培訓和講座以了解行業內的最新動態。發揮潛力，不斷的鍛煉自己，保持自身在團隊中的價值。總有一天，這些都會使你的公司，團隊更重要的使你自己受益匪淺
