Getting promoted at work

continued from page 1
  • Step six: Ask the person you have approached if there is anything the company would like from you that they feel they are not currently getting: 'Are there any expectations you have of me that I'm not currently fulfilling?'

  • Step seven: Ask the person you are speaking to how they see your future with the company unfolding. Be prepared that you might not like the answer, but also be prepared to present your own vision: 'How do you see my job developing over the next year?' Be aware of their body language and whether or not they are being receptive to what you're saying. Keep the conversation short, upbeat and be sure to thank them at the end: 'Thanks for taking the time to listen to my thoughts and I am really looking forward, if you agree, to implementing some of these ideas for all our benefit'.

    Always keep in mind if there's something that you want, ask for it. You might not get it, but if you don't speak up, you're guaranteed not to get it.
