How to be more ‘promotable’ in 2019

Why do you feel that you deserve to be promoted?  There willcome a time in your career, when you feel that you have earned it, you’ll have to make a strong case for that promotion. Here’s how.

1.    Know your why: A promotion might seem like the next logical career step, but don’t go asking for it blindly. Take the time to know what you want from it and why. Don’t ask for one just for the sake of it.  What is the motivation behind it? Is it a better title? A pay hike?  Are you looking for more responsibilities? Do you want to manage a team? Ask yourself how these will satisfy your desires. Next, examine the position. You need to have the time to carry out all the responsibilities that it comes with. Are you ready to work late nights if required? If needed, are you ready to work weekends? Do you have the additional skills required to fulfill your tasks?  After looking into these, and if they are in line with your motivations for asking for the promotion, then go ahead.
