Apprentice runner-up Helen gets promoted at work

Runner-up on the latest Apprentice series, Helen Mulligan was an executive assistant to the CEO of Greggs before she started the 12 week process. Since her sterling performance on the show she's scored a promotion in the bakery company, where she is now head of retail in the South East and responsible for 200 stores and 2,300 staff.

But it took Lord Sugar's business reality show for Helen's bosses to realise her potential, so what chance do the rest of us have? How can you get recognition for your performance at work?
