Step 1: Talk early <\/p>\n
Schedule chats with your boss between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. Research shows that\u2019s when employers are most open to requests and suggestions\u2014plus they\u2019re just plain friendlier in the morning.<\/p>\n
Step 2: Choose your seat <\/p>\n
Seeing the boss? If it\u2019s a woman, sit directly across from her. If it\u2019s a man, subtly park your chair at a right angle. Studies show women feel more comfortable face to face, while men are more relaxed at a 90-degree angle.<\/p>\n
Step 3: Don\u2019t make excuses <\/p>\n
Never make excuses\u2014even if you\u2019re in the right. Evading responsibility is employers\u2019 number one pet peeve, according to surveys. If you\u2019re criticized, just say, \u201cIt won\u2019t happen again,\u201d and let it go.<\/p>\n
Step 4: Don\u2019t mumble <\/p>\n
Don\u2019t mumble. It makes you seem indecisive and will just plain annoy the boss if she has to strain to understand you.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re in the habit of saying \u201cum\u201d\u2014break it! It makes you appear both insecure and stupid\u2014not traits your boss wants to see in an employee.<\/p>\n
Step 5: Be positive <\/p>\n
Be positive\u2014even when you have a beef with the boss. If you approach your employer with a \u201chere\u2019s how we can improve this\u201d attitude, rather than from a whiney, \u201cthis isn\u2019t working\u201d standpoint, you\u2019ll win major points.<\/p>\n
Step 6: Listen <\/p>\n
Talking less and listening more is the best thing you can do to impress the boss. And, hey, you just might learn something.<\/p>\n
