So you’ve landed the job. Now the real work begins. And I’m not just talking about the tasks you’ve been assigned. Building a great relationship with your boss is one of the most important tasks you will take on in any new job. No, I am not talking about schmoozing. I’m talking about building a solid foundation of respect with your boss. Respect that will also help you enjoy your job more. Respect that will make you more productive, because everyone works better in an environment where you get along, particularly with your boss.

Here are 12 tips that will help win over your boss:

1.Complete every assignment on time, and earlier if at all possible. You’d be surprised to learn how many workers, especially writers, feel that they shouldn’t be rushed in their creative process. However, a professional adheres to deadlines, out of respect for the company’s goals and needs.

2.Be helpful offer help with chores and/or extra assistance where needed. If you see an opportunity to help out, speak up. You will earn the reputation of being the one who puts the well being of the company first. That is a great place to be when you are working for someone.

3. Be the first who arrives and the last who leaves. Always be on time, or more than that: your time is the boss’s time. If you’re working from home, be always available. Yes, take the phone into the bathroom. If you are frequently late to work, leave early, take lots of sick days and/or personal days, do not expect your job to be a long-term one.

4. Show interest in the success of your boss and the organization you work for. Be an initiator. Do things that no one has asked you to do, just because you want to see your boss and the organization to succeed. Volunteer to take on new projects—but don’t overload yourself. You want to have enough time and energy to do a great job with every assignment.

5. If the boss needs volunteers to work at writemyessay.services on weekends, you should be the first to raise your hand. As long as you can do this without hurting your family, do your best to be available for extra duty. 6. Do not participate in the “water cooler chat.” I am sure every organization has a place where people gather to gossip, complain, and discuss work, politics and the problems of life. It could be the coffee room, the lunchroom or even the “powder” room. It never fails to hurt you. You trust the group, you confide in them, or express political views and the next thing you’ll see is your pink slip in your inbox. I got hurt twice by being naïve, trusting people, or simply believe in camaraderie. I really think that every office should have a “warning” sign in these places. “Do not talk about issues here that you do not want everyone to know.” Being politically neutral at your work place—with respect to both company and general politics—is the right way to act.

7. Be a team player.Strong team players care about their work, the team, and the team’s work. Good team players are reliable, trustworthy and deliver outstanding performance all the time. These are the three most important qualities a boss is seeking to find in an employee. An exemplary team player attitude is always a “can-do” approach: “What contribution can I make to help the team achieve success?”

8.Be loyal to your boss. If you have problems or complaints, keep it between you and your boss. Don’t air your dirty laundry around the office or through the Internet. Show respect and loyalty. If you can’t be loyal, then perhaps it’s time to move on and work for someone whom you can respect.

9.Appreciate your work whenever possible thank your boss for the assignments he/she allocates to you. Even if you feel a tad overwhelmed or not really crazy about the project, let your boss know that you are excited to work on the new project and you’ll do your best to exceed his expectations.

10. Learn what pleases your boss. Pay attention to his/her likes and dislikes, even if you don’t agree. Be strong in the areas where he is weak, so that you can make him/her look good. Try to complement the skills your boss lacks.

11. Be attentive and considerate remember the boss’s birthday, his anniversary, etc. Make a big deal of it, even if he/she says they don’t want to. Because we know, deep down, that everyone likes to feel appreciated. Whenever applicable, (and this depends on your relationship) show a genuine interest about the boss’ life outside the office. People particularly like to brag about their children. Good listeners builds good relationships!

12. Learn how your boss likes to communicate. Does he prefer email, phone calls, texting? Find out the method he responds to most quickly and be sure you communicate with him as often as he requests.
