If you heed these five hints, you'll not only contribute to your job security; you'll also win your boss's admiration and appreciation -- as well as a little loyalty.
如果你注意了這五個小貼士，不止能夠保全你的工作，也能夠得到你上司的賞識、欣賞和一點點的忠誠。
1. Be humble.
態度謙卑一點。
In other words, be mindful of the fact that it's not all about you. Says Levit, "Don't approach your boss with a sense of entitlement, as though he is personally responsible for furthering your career. Instead, focus on learning what you can do to make his life easier, contribute to your company's goals, and make him look good to his boss."
換句話說，要記住一個事實，這一切並不是都是隻有你一個人。Levit說：“不要以一種享有特權的態度和你的上司打交道，好像他要親自為你的職業發展負責一樣。相反，要學習你可以做什麼讓他的生活更輕鬆，對公司的目標做出貢獻，讓你的上司在他的'上司那裡更成功。
2. Be honest.
要誠實。驚：看牛人做夢如何講英語
學習商務英語，改變你的職業前景
Everyone makes mistakes -- and you're no exception. Be forthcoming about it from the start. "Admit if you do something wrong, and then ask your boss how you can rectifythe situation. Don't allow yourself to get caught in a maze of lies or excuses that will result in a loss of credibility," she advises.
每個人都會犯錯，你也不例外。從一開始就做好準備。她建議說：“如果你做錯了什麼事情就要承認，然後徵求你上司的意見問他你該怎麼改善情況。不要給自己找一大堆的藉口或謊言，最後喪失了信譽。”
