Don't hide your light under a bushel. It benefits you to build a strong reputation early on in a new job by making sure people know about your good work, says Harvard Business Review.


"When it comes to job performance, your reputation often precedes you. That is, if you are known as a high performer, chances are people will perceive your work positively.


It behooves you to build a strong reputation early on in a new job. The best way to do this is to be sure people -- your boss, your peers, and your subordinates -- know about your good work.


Don't assume they notice; they are often consumed with their own jobs. Bring attention to your successes by sharing the results with others.

You don't need to be self-promotional to do this. Start by genuinely praising one of your colleagues for her good work and she will likely return the favor."
