You have the skills. You have paid your dues in your current position. You can communicate the company’s mission and yearly goals effectively in presentations and company conferences. You are that team player who comes in early, stays late, just to get it all done. In your mind, you have proven yourself. It is time to make your move.
So how do you gain that coveted promotion that you desire? I am going to help you. No need to fret. Hard work, persistence and dedication always speaks for itself. Someone has been watching and it will all pay off. Trust me!
Take into consideration the tips below:
– Make sure the right people know you want a promotion. Don’t just assume that your supervisors know what is going on in your head. You may be voicing your thoughts to the wrong ears.
– Speak up. You have heard before that a closed mouth does not get feed. This is your career. You have to be your greatest advocate.
– Seek out a mentor with your company. Someone who has a higher position can definitely provide leadership and possibly open doors for you.
Apply for jobs within your company. Look on the company website to see if there are any postings that would suit your qualifications.
– Develop a new position. Sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands. Executives love to see staff take initiative. See if there is need or service that is not currently offered that would be of benefit to the company. Define it. Present it. Manage it.
