Never walk without a document in your hands
Use computers to look busy
Keep the desk Messy
Never answer your phone if you have voice mail.
Always try to look impatient and annoyed to give your senior the impression that you are always busy.
Always leave the office late, especially when the boss is still around.
Sigh loudly when there are many people around, giving the impression that you are under extreme pressure.
It is not enough to pile lots of documents on the table. Put lots of books on the floor etc. (thick computer manuals are the best).
Read up on some computer magazines and pick out all the jargon and new products. Use the phrases freely when in conversation with colleagues. Remember: They don't have to understand what you say, but you will sound impressive.
If you work in a big open plan office, always leave a spare jacket draped over the back of your seat. This gives the impression that you are still on the premises. The second jacket should be worn while swanning around elsewhere.
