Want a Promotion?

So you think you deserve a promotion at work?

Kris Littlejohn, of Workforce Management, has some advice for us:

• Ask for more responsibilities – it will show you’re prepared to tackle something bigger.

 

• Invent a new position – but be prepared to make a strong argument that there’s a need for it and that you’re the best one suited to fill it.

• Toot your own horn = but keep it professional, don’t brag and avoid anything negative about others. There’s nothing wrong with reminding your boss of some of your accomplishments.

• Make friends in higher places – it can really help your chances to get someone up there to take you under their wing – BEFORE you go for the promotion.
