Doing good work isn't the only requirement

    不是做好工作就能获得晋升

    If a promotion is one of your goals for the next year, are you doing everything you can to make it happen?

    如果获得晋升是你这一年的目标，你会尽全力去实现吗？

    It would be nice if hard work and talent would automatically lead to a job with more pay, more responsibility, and a better title. But in most cases, it takes more than that to move to the next level.

    如果勤奋工作和才华能自动带给你一个有更高收入、更多职责、和一个更响亮头衔的职位那就好了。但大多数时候，要晋升需要做的更多。

    Make Yourself Known

    让人们了解你

    Look at the job you'd like to have a year from now. Who selects candidates for this position? Who does that person work with and ask for advice?

    看看你希望一年之后能获得的职位。谁掌管选择这个职位的候选人？他和谁一起工作、听取谁的意见？

    "Then you systematically sit down and think about how you're going to make contact," says Helen Harkness, founder of Career Design Inc., in Dallas. There are lots of ways to do this. You can volunteer to serve on a committee with the people you need to know, for example. You can forward them articles or information that relate to their expertise.

    “然后，你要坐下来系统地思考如何和这些人联系，”达拉斯的Career Design 公司创办人Helen Harkness说。有许多方法可以取得联系，比如，你可以自愿去为你需要认识的人的小组工作。你可以把和他们工作有关的文章和信息发送给他们。

    Help Your Boss Succeed

    帮助上司成功

    Often, your boss is the person who will decide if you'll be promoted. But even if not, your boss will almost certainly be consulted. So impressing your boss is a top priority.

    往往你的上司就是那个决定是否提拔你的人。即便不是这样，也几乎肯定要听取他的意见。 所以，给上司一个好印象是第一重要的事情。

    Marianne Adoradio, a recruiter and career counselor in Silicon Valley, suggests focusing on your company's key goals, then talking with your boss to find out which are most important in your department. "It's really important to be aware of what is going to make your boss successful, what is most important to him or her."

    硅谷招聘人员及职业顾问Marianne Adoradio给你的建议是关注公司的主要目标；然后和上司讨论你的部门最重要的工作是什么。“认识到怎样才能让上司成功，以及对他/她来说什么最重要，这两点真的很重要。”
