Maximising Your Time as a Degree Apprentice, Chapter 6: Deliver, deliver, deliver

About this chapter

Your reputation for delivering is what drives your career. If you commit to something, make it happen, and if you're unsure, ask.

Nobody will chase you or mark your homework; senior people simply stop asking people who don't deliver.
Reliability builds in threes: by the third time you deliver, people form a view of you.
No surprises: if something is going wrong or unclear, say so early and ask for clarification.
Show a draft part-way (for example on Wednesday for a Friday deadline) and check you're heading the right way.
In one CEO interview, my answer that I'd check in to make sure I was right went down well.
