How To Ask For A Promotion.docx

When you work in a company, there are many cases which you need to make requests. Among those issues, promotion is the most delicate and complex. Because of this, I will talk about some things you need to know how to ask for a promotion. Hope these can be useful for you in the future. Firstly, I want to tell about your company. Your company has to have the concept of levels and promotions, and the system must generally intend to promote people for their qualifications. What does it mean? It means that luck and opportuniy play a large role-your best chances of rapid career growth involve working at a high growth company and for a great boss, on successful projects. You can’t command those opportunities to appear, but you can make the most of the opportunities you have or you can create opportunities for yourself . You can also call it “What you have to do”. Be prepared to work hard, grow new skills, improve weak spots, take on more responsibilities and understand your levels. Otherwise, what you want is a raise, not a promotion. Once you have prepared these, you can offer promotions. But you also need to choose the right time to tell your boss. You should choose a time when the company situation is stable, your workload is moderate and your boss isn’t under too much pressure to proactively ask for a promotion. When you ask for a promotion with your boss, you need to bahave professionally. Use appropriate language. When making a request at work, make sure to do it in a clever and delicate way. The language you use makes a big difference in this case. These are some basic tips that will make your requests sound more polite: - Use could instead of can - Use indirect questions instead of direct ones (example :I was wondering...; Would it be possible...; Is it okay to..., etc.) - Use thank you whenever possible Finally, I want you to pay attention somethings that you shouldn’t be done. Don’t mention your weakness. It’s good if you know what your weaknesses are, but the time of offer promotion isn’t the time to mention these issues. In this case you should prove you are a good employee. Don't be too confident and insist that you deserve promotion. Your boss will like an employee who understands things, not

arrogance. Don’t be impatient. Maybe at the moment when you mention the issue of promotion, your boss promises to consider this. Be really patient, don't ask about it every day, give your boss time to think. If you do well, your boss will see it. This is all you need to keep in mind when asking for a promotion.
