Question:
I just got hired at my first real job coming out of school and I was looking for some pointers on how to make sure my first six months are successful.

Answer:
Many students enter the workforce with great credentials but don’t realize their potential. The goal is to ensure you will be seen as a go-to person who can be trusted. Apply these four techniques and watch your rise to the top.

STEAK
The biggest mistake people make in their career progression is expecting a promotion before they are good at their current job. I remember the story of a successful finacier whos first job was to photocopy documents. He was committed to being the best photocopier in the company and ended up receiving a very significant promotion in three months.

SIZZLE
Self-promotion is not natural for everyone but you must learn to share successes with your boss. They won;t always know what you’re doing — keep them informed.

PROTOCOL
The most important person you will want to develop a relationship with will be your boss. Do not go above their head unless they are aware of it and have their approval.

PROBLEM SOLVE
Whenever you identify a problem and you are discussing it with your boss, always offer a solution and ask for input. By doing this, you will build trust with your boss and eventually, you will be given more responsibilities.
