Publicize your successes. Good job performance is not perfection. Mistakes are acceptable if you learn from them. Build a reputation for integrity. Understand your organization structure.
Many women take a passive approach when it comes to managing their career.
Do not rely on your company or your supervisor to get you the training that you need to move ahead or let you know about advancement opportunities. It is YOUR JOB, not your supervisors, to ensure that you take maximum advantage of company training opportunities. It is also YOUR JOB to ensure that your current assignment and training is going in the direction you would like. Go outside the company, if needed, to expand your skill base. Watch job postings within your company and network to get information on what is available.
