…go the extra mile with a positive attitude and a smile on your face.

Renie Cavallari wrote an article recently for careerbuilder.com that contained some excellent advice for getting ahead at work. The key is to be willing to go the extra mile with a positive attitude and a smile on your face. This includes staying late if necessary to finish a project, helping clean up a mess even if you didn’t make it and making sure every job you take on is done in an excellent manner. The reason this is so important is leaders, bosses and supervisors notice those people who regularly go the extra mile and they are very happy to recommend them for promotions when the time comes.
