说说美国职场生存“潜规则”

2.Give your realistic deadlines。

告诉上司现实的截止日期。

Give yourself a bit of extra time to get the job done properly, and if you get things done early, the boss will be impressed。

应当稍微高估完成既定任务需要花费的时间，并且，如果你“提前”完成任务，上司会对你印象深刻。

永远专业着装、随身带薄荷糖和梳子，保持一个清洁并摆放整齐的工作场所。

积极主动。

If you see there is room for improvement, write a proposal and float the idea to your boss。

如果你发现其中的改进空间，那么，写下建议并把想法告诉上司。

6.Respect your boss's time。

尊重上司的时间。

Don't bother your boss if he is on phone or is elbows deep in work, and try to solve the problem if you can solve it yourself。

如果你的上司在打电话或者专心工作，最好重新考虑你要找他/她处理的问题的紧急程度，不要在你自己可以解决的小问题上浪费上司的时间。

7.Take on your boss's unpleasant tasks。
