Getting that job promotion!

If you have ever been passed over for a promotion that you thought you deserved, it's time to reevaluate your situation to understand why you seem to be stuck on the last rung of the corporate ladder.

The first thing you must ask yourself is, "Did I make it known that I wanted the promotion?" This may seem like common sense, but some people believe that they do not have to be aggressive or even voice their desire that they be placed in the running. Even if you are the ideal candidate for the job, if no one knows you are interested, chances are you will not be considered.

Second, be realistic. Before you get your hopes up on that vice president's job, ask yourself if you are qualified. Working in the mailroom does not merit a leap to a corner office. Know the qualifications of the position and be sure you fit the company's needs. If you are in fact qualified, make it known. Self-confidence and self-assuredness is a must when climbing the corporate ladder. While most of us are taught from a very young age not to brag or show off, our accomplishments do not always speak for themselves.

Getting ahead on the job takes more than merely doing a good job. Drop subtle reminders to your boss of your accomplishments. Detail how the company has benefited from your ideas and suggestions and will only benefit further by giving you greater responsibilities and duties.

Unfortunately, getting a promotion can oftentimes be a competition. You will have to fight for what you want – but fight fair. Loyalty plays an important role in getting a promotion. Contrary to what we see on television and in the movies, back-stabbing tactics will not get you very far in the real corporate world. Being a loyal employee, co-worker or supervisor will only make advancement in the workplace easier. But remember the difference between loyalty and overkill. You do not have to be everyone's best friend. It is more important to be well-respected than well-liked.

When it comes down to the final interview, let your self-confidence and past achievements shine and as the old saying goes, "Never let them see you sweat" – there'll be plenty of time for sweating when you are givien your first assignment in your new position.

Working Towards Getting a Promotion

For the professional employee, receiving a raise or promotion in their career is often a top priority. Here are a few tips to help you reach that goal faster.

Get Onboard with an "In it to Win it" Attitude

Learn all there is to know about the company, your position and positions that are higher than yours. Learn the ropes quickly, but never act as if you know everything. Be open to learning whatever is being taught to you. It will all benefit your career later on.

Improve Yourself

The skills you have now may have gotten you the job, but they won't get you a raise or promotion. As your company grows, so should you. If possible, take courses that relate to your career, acquire new skills and stay on top of changes in the company or field.

Show Interest in the Open Position

Don't simply sit back and hope your boss chooses to promote you. Make your interest in open position apparent by asking questions about it and the qualifications required.

Show Initiative

Leadership skills as well as an ability to take directions are especially important in higher level career positions. Attempt to handle situations on your own before asking your boss for help. Volunteer to take on tasks, even if you aren't fully knowledgeable. Take the opportunity to show your employer you are easily trained and fully capable.

Be a Friend

Be personable, attitude goes a very long way. Being friendly to everyone in your workplace gives you a great advantage. Shooting down coworker's ideas, displaying jealousy of their positions or skills and participating in gossip will only knock you off the career ladder, not help you climb it. Being cordial and helpful will get you noticed and can also display leadership skills while building good relationships with coworkers. This will make for an easier transition from fellow coworker to boss, when you get a promotion. They'll want to listen to and help you because you are likable. Focus on making yourself look good as opposed to making others look bad.

Be in Good Standing

Determine your chances of getting a promotion at your job by evaluating your job performance. Most places of employment give annual, if not more frequent, performance reports. Most importantly, ask yourself how you feel you measure up to company standards for your position. Chances are, if you feel as though there are areas you can improve in, you're right. Focus on being better in your current position every day.

Create a Position

Promotions result when there is a need to fill a position. Without an open position, there is no advancement. If you can make a good case and show your company that there is a need for a specific area to be filled, explain how the creation of the position would benefit the company, and finally, let it be known that you are just the individual to handle the position, you could create a position to be promoted to. Explain how your skills and experience would help you to provide superb service in the position, were it created. Your boss will see that you are dedicated to the well being and growth of the company and appreciate it. They'll also see your leadership and creativeness shine!.

Remember that attitude, ambition and how much you give to your career and company is what will help you get a promotion. Good luck in your professional endeavors!
