如果你注意了这五个小贴士，不止能够保全你的工作，也能够得到你上司的赏识、欣赏和一点点的忠诚。
1. Be humble.
态度谦卑一点。
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."
换句话说，要记住一个事实，这一切并不是都是只有你一个人。Levit说：“不要以一种享有特权的态度和你的上司打交道，好像他要亲自为你的职业发展负责一样。相反，要学习你可以做什么让他的生活更轻松，对公司的目标做出贡献，让你的上司在他的'上司那里更成功。
2. Be honest.

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.
每个人都会犯错，你也不例外。从一开始就做好准备。她建议说：“如果你做错了什么事情就要承认，然后征求你上司的意见问他你该怎么改善情况。不要给自己找一大堆的借口或谎言，最后丧失了信誉。”
