Internalize these tips and add them to your career plan. You
would have move to the next level before you notice it. One main reason for
employee to ignore these tips is because these tips seem to very long term. But
if you only DO them, this may not be a long term at all. Here are the 9 tips:
·
Where
you are now and why are you there?
A reference point is needed. Ask yourself,
is there any key points that has brought you where are you now that you can
continue to leverage for the next position? This question allows you to know
your strength and weaknesses. It also forces you to access what has worked and
what work will get you promoted to the next level.
·
How
to get to your prospective point?
A clear and well-defined objective
and plan is a must. Saying only that you want to get promoted were only plain
words. You need to be clear on your target position. Is it a promotion to
different department or different position? When you are focus to your target,
plan how you will get your prospect position.
·
Put
pride, passion and belief
Employee will mostly get the position
they want if they have the urge and pride to always do their best at their
work. Employees urge to work hard because they believe that they can be on the
next level if they keep on putting a burning passion in their work.
·
Have
skills, knowledge, direction and action
Pride, passion and belief must be
back up with skills and knowledge. One will get promoted to the next level if
they have the knowledge of that position. Direct your energy to your goals.
Having direction will guide you to get the promotion you want. Action is the
actualization of the entire task. Without action, all is academic. Boss will
grant you promotion based on your performance.
·
Challenges
are Opportunities
Every challenge that will come to you
is another opportunity to gain chances of getting promoted. Do not complain
about the hard work being thrown to you. Obey to all tasks given to you before
you complain.
·
Know
your part.
Know and play your part. What is your
role in the firm? Are you the one implementing systems or are you the guide to
follow these systems? Know exactly what you need to do in order for your team
to achieve its goals. Teamwork is also an asset to get promoted. Support of
colleagues is a great help.
·
NOW,
not LATER
You must always do your best, NOW. Do
not bask in the glory of your past tasks. Your superior doesn’t care about it
anymore. Don’t also focus on future projects, it does still not exist. Focus on
doing your best NOW. It determines how you’re being judge by everything you do.
Focusing on past and future projects will only lose your focus on the NOW.
·
Do
more than necessary
Doing a lot things far beyond your
position will most likely result to a promotion. Volunteering for more work and
taking the initiative to do more jobs better. It also means that being lazy and
waiting for work will most likely result to nothing. Even if the problem is not
yours and you think you can be the solution to the problem, then volunteer to
help. Helping your team to stay ahead also helps you to be ahead.
·
Do
work from position higher than yours
Doing only the work for your current
position then you truly deserve that position. Employees who want promotion
will most likely do task from the next level. Doing tasks above your position
shows that you are capable of that position.
