With fewer corporate ladders to climb and a more decentralized structure of many businesses, hard-working and ambitious workers can easily get overlooked for advancement and promotions.

Getting ahead today not only requires being good at what you do, but also being good at marketing yourself within the organization. Workers need to build their own ladders for success and advancement.

Call it self-marketing or career-marketing -- some call it self-promotion or even bragging -- but whatever you call it, you just need to do it if you want to get noticed for the next promotion. However, there is a fine line between bragging and self-promotion, so be careful about taking too much credit or sounding as though the whole organization would collapse if you were not working there.

This quiz is about helping you gauge whether you are doing enough marketing of yourself on the job to help you advance your career. Remember that self-marketing is about building and enhancing the product (your professional development activities) as much as it is about good promotion (making people aware of your accomplishments).
