Act like the boss.
If your manager gets dismissed, set up a meeting with his/her supervisor and let him/her know that you are willing to do extra work.
Frame things in the positive and stay upbeat.
Your supervisor is bound to pick up on your optimism.
Present value.
What are you doing that's above and beyond what's expected?
Highlight your recent work.
Bring in examples to show off and be your own self-advovate.
