5 ways to Show Your Manager you are Ready for a Promotion
Getting a promotion is not as easy as just changing your job scope. You need to actually deserve your promotion. Below are a few steps you can take to make your manager aware of your ambition:
Give Them a Reason to Trust you
You need to be realistic when chasing a promotion. Do not give your manager any reason not to promote you. Make sure you are always on time and a model employee.
Upskill Yourself
By upskilling yourself, you will show your manager just how serious you are about your development. A workplace skills course will give you the credentials and the knowledge to perform certain tasks. This will put you above the rest.
Choose an Understudy
Find a junior colleague you can mentor. This will help both your colleague and yourself. Showing your leadership skills will show your manager that you are able to work in a managerial position.
Make an Impact
Master your craft. Before you can move forward, you need to be more than comfortable in your current role. By perfecting your work, you will show your manager that you are ready to move on.
Network
We sometimes forget that managers and CEOs are normal people too. Network with people in different positions to you. This will grow your understanding of the job you want. By developing relationships with your superiors, your name will be mentioned more, thus giving you a better shot at the promotion!
Become Overqualified
A workplace skills course is not the only thing you can add to your CV in order to show your ambition. There are courses you can complete that will make you so qualified that promoting you will be more of a ‘must’ than an ‘if’. For example, By completing a management course you become a qualified manager even if you are not currently working as one.
