Show Some Love To Your Boss
- Dress to Impress
Employees who take great care with their appearance show their boss that they are committed to their job. If you constantly come to work ungroomed, unkempt and unprofessionally dressed, you’re definitely sending out the message that you couldn’t care less about being at work. Make a statement and Dress to impress, as this will get you noticed. Your clothing doesn’t necessarily have to be the most expensive brands. You just need to demonstrate that you’re making an effort and care about your professional appearance. Dressing well makes you look and feel better too.
- Avoid Laziness
One important way to show your boss that you care about your job is to avoid tardiness and get to work early. That means if you are scheduled to start at 9 am, you should arrive at least 10-15 minutes earlier to get yourself settled and ready to start working on time. Additionally, make every effort to go to work each day and do not call in sick unless absolutely necessary. Your boss will take notice and appreciate that you care enough about your job and the business to get to work on time.

This good work ethic will get noticed.
