#2 – Arrive Early and Leave the Office Late
Of course, everyone is expected to start working at 9am and leave at 5pm, but that doesn’t mean you can’t extend that period. Wake up just a little earlier and make sure you arrive 10 minutes before your colleagues. Management usually arrives at this time as well, so you’ll definitely be noticed. Before you leave at 5pm, ask your boss if there’s anything else you can help with. Sure you might be giving up another 20-30 minutes of your day, but this will move you to the top of the list when promotion time comes.
