Be a great communicator.

Now that you have acquired all the required skills and you are ready to keep updating them, you should communicate to the management that you possess the skills they expect you to have. But how should you communicate? Experts advise that you should "show" them your skills. Mere words will not suffice. Even if you shout from the rooftops, nobody is going to believe you. You should prove your skills and only then, they will believe that you possess them. 

It is not necessary that there should be special or crisis situations to show that you possess the skills the management expects you to have. Even day-to-day tasks are enough for proving the skills. Experts suggest that you should delve deep into every task you are entrusted with so that you can find out how more efficiently you can carry out the task. Remember that there can be more than one way to do a task. You should find out the best, smartest, and the most cost-effective way and carry it out. If you understand and follow this suggestion scrupulously, you can certainly achieve a big success in your career.
