Impress my boss?

Question

I've been working for my boss for a little over half a year, and I can't quite seem to impress her. She never expresses much disproval but there's never much enthusiasm, either. I can't really spend more hours working because I'm already stretched thin with childcare. How do I go from a decent employee to a great one without wearing myself out?

Look for areas that need improvement and come up with a plan and propose it to her, then run with it.

Ask what the boss's top priorities are for you and also for herself. Over-communicate on the items you are doing that she cares most about and see what you can do to help support her priorities for herself.

It's hard when you don't get positive feedback. But you've not been there very long, so give it some time. Being a great employee is a worthy goal. If you're showing up on time, are not missing work very often, and are focused on your job performance, you should be fine. Hope things improve.
