Is your Promotion Due?

-
Hi I gather all of us have some expectations from our job.
If you have already spent few years in your current role and your promotion is due
its better to do a realty check so that you are not left in cold when the promoted candidates list is announced.
  • First you should be aware of your organizations promotion policies...so if you have just heard of things..its recommended you read the stated policy.
  • Happy? that you are eligible for promotion per policy..good. Now do a realty check with your supervisor who should recommend you for a promotion..There is usally a gap between being eligible and also getting recommended.
  • Touchbase with your supervisor and understand clearly his/her expectations from you to be recommended for promotion to a higher role.Depending on many factors this converstation may take varied shapes of a confirmation, decline, may be, well there are some things not correct, please work..I will see, some bargains..will recommend but would need xx commitment from you etc.
  • Be Positive..you now know where things are actually..and put your best foot forward. If you are not so optimist of things then do think of alternatives or  a fall back plan...but its highly recommended to stay positive and try to create some differentation that would make you appreciated by your manager or his supervisor besides excelling in your current roles and responsibilities.
  • Keep your family and friends in loop,so that they are there to share and surprises are minimized.
Found a  good blog on the same,which I feel focuses on more dimensions.
