You and one of the authority figures in your life will come to an agreement -- you won't get everything you want, but you should be happy with yourself for even asking. They certainly respect you for it. Don't brag to coworkers about the relationships you are building -- not only is it unprofessional, but it could send the wrong message about how you are getting ahead. Let your work speak for you, because it will convey the accurate message: That you are a force to be reckoned with. |
