Start Working When You’re Hired

So many people wonder why they don’t advance as quickly as they’d like (or advance at all… ). A likely explanation is they aren’t working very hard, or they are working at the wrong things.

How do you do that? 1) Find out who is in charge of your advancement; 2) find out what matters to that person/s and 3) make doing that the majority of your work.
