>> Always be early.
I come into work early one or two days a week, about an hour before any of my colleagues do.
I get a lot done in that time.
Always dress appropriately, somewhere between like nun
and librarian, always very professional.
Especially in my line of work I never know when like the queen of some country is going to show
up and need a tour or Tom Brokaw's brother or some trustees need you to go to lunch with them
and so you need to always look really nice.
I would also say don't surprise your boss, like if something has gone really well,
let them know about it, likewise if something is not going well, get in there and let them know
about it and have one or two solutions to the problem.
