How do you get your boss to notice your work?
-
When something good is completed I say: "Hey boss, xyz is done, it's real cool. I need to show it to you so you can see how it roughly works so that if I am hit by a bus you have a rough idea. I will of course document it all properly but I will give you a quick run over it..."
When you meet up you can show how good you have done.

I think that if you need your boss to "notice" your work you have a bigger problem than visibility. Why is your boss not either confident or admiring your work already? Why should you have to spend time and effort "selling" yourself for your own job?

I can't up this enough.
But I agree.

Agree and disagree. You don't have to worry about proving yourself to your boss/management.
When you are trusted to do a great job with little interaction, whenever something really good is done it is useful to show your manager. This is because face time is good when you don't week to week hae to interact much and and communication is always a good thing.
I'd rather spend some time communicating the good stuff that is done, even though trusted to just get on with it, rather than no communication until the off chance that something bad has happened...

That's kind of what I meant. Either you should be watched over and not need to prove yourself... or you should be trusted and only do it when you want to.
