San's recipe to getting promoted

Do extremely well in what is expected of you, once you have mastered this, you can start taking on a few things that aren't expected of you..
 
Blow your own horn - to the right people - it's no use telling your colleague how much blood, sweat and tears you are putting into the company - tell somebody who is in a senior position...they need to start recognising you and know your NAME!
 
Show interest in what people at higher levels are doing - if possible, ask them questions...
 
Dress the part...personal appearance has a far greater impact than you think!
 
When the time is right and you are able to handle what is expected, and that which is not expected, talk to your manager about senior openings in the department, as you are in need of a challenge...
 
Remember, consistency is extremely important as is a big mouth!
 
This worked for me, two promotions in 6 months later...
