When it comes to effective self-promotion, I always think of one person whom I've worked with, who's very adept at this type of relationship building -- she always sends follow-up notes and emails to senior people thanking them for whatever they may have done, and she comments encouragingly and insightfully on big projects that she knows they're working on. Importantly, though, she's careful not to appear too calculating or overly solicitous in these communications -- she simply takes advantage of natural openings and opportunities to make contact. As a result, she's generated a base of supporters far beyond the reach of her formal job responsibilities, and has created some excitement about herself at the company. Hopefully you can start to do the same. Good luck.

I'm easygoing, kind, sympathetic, tolerant, polite, clever, ambitious, and ... very shy. :)))

If you are in a job interview say things like: I am flexible and can work whatever shift is needed. I am a team player and am able to get a long with people I have previous experience and the skills required by your company I am honest and will always admit to making a mistake
