Tips for Moving Up the Proverbial Career Ladder
Share
Let's say you've been in the same position for a few years now and you're ready to move up. You've done a great job, but you no longer find it challenging. How can you position yourself for a promotion? Here are some tips that can help:



1) Increase your visibility. Be sure to network within your own department and with those from other departments and even other divisions.



2) Let your boss know you want to advance. Your boss isn't a mind-reader. And, your boss may be too busy to notice you're not being stretched anymore. Tell your boss of your desire to move up and why you're a good candidate.



3) Keep track of your accomplishments and keep your boss and your boss's boss apprised of your them. Many folks feel like they're bragging when they do this. I encourage you to reframe it as "just stating the facts."



4)Volunteer to work on a special project. This will demonstrate that you have initiative and want more out of your job than just a paycheck.



Moving up the proverbial career ladder requires action- your action! Incorporate the above tips and start climbing!
