Assigners/ADs are just people. And most people value a recommendation from a trusted colleague pretty highly. So, as part of your bid to improve, find a well-connected friend or mentor who can give you a timely recommendation or two. From what I've seen, nobody moves up very far in this business, ready or not, without somebody opening a door for them.
Good luck!
