2. So today – I want to talk about growth in your career.
How to get promoted in your current job. I am going to
share a couple of tips that you can apply in your work
life to get noticed and promoted in your current job
role.
So let’s start :
Introducation
3. 1-Are you dependable?
Ask this question to yourself. Is your boss
relying on you for your work? Or, Are you an
incredible asset to the company? See, every
employer loves to work with a person who they
don’t have to micromanage. Your boss should be
able to completely trust your work and he should
believe that you are the person who is punctual,
reachable, and communicable at any time the
company wants. Because promotion just doesn’t
mean a better paycheck or a better lifestyle. It
comes with more responsibility.
4. To be reliable, first of all, you have to excel
at your work, you need to manage commitment, you
need to proactively communicate with your
colleagues and your managers.
And if you are able to demonstrate this track of
reliability, then I am sure your promotion is
not very far.
5. 2-Think like your boss
Whether you’re a young professional who started an
early career or you’re someone who has given years
to a company, if you aspire to get promoted and you
want to succeed in your profession. Hard work is
just not enough. And sometimes, overworking can
actually backfire on you.
So, what I mean is each and every person in the
organization works hard. But the question is what
makes you stand out?
Whenever a person of higher authority like the CEO
or the manager, makes a decision, they don’t make
decisions for their personal benefit, rather they
see the benefit of the company.
6. Something that’s really important is – your
vision and mindset should align with the vision
of your boss. Your goals should match with the
company’s goals and you & your boss should be on
the same page. No matter how small or big the
job is, if you have the mindset of the ‘boss’ to
deal with company problems and you have a
strategy, you are likely to get promoted.
And it doesn’t matter what role you play in the
company, you can always take initiative to come
up with new ideas, strategies, innovations by
focusing on the bigger picture and becoming a
problem solver for the company.
7. Just try to be one step ahead of others and just
be ready to go the extra mile. When I say one
step ahead, I don’t mean that you should neglect
others’ opinions which takes us to our next
tip…..
8. 3-Be a team player
The organization where you work – is not just about
you or the managers. All the people in the
organization work collectively as a team. There can
be situations when your ideas may clash with others
or you may not like what your colleague or your boss
says. That could be the time when you can be more
generous and outspoken.
The most important skill you need to get promoted is
your leadership skill. You have to build an image of
a leader and earn the respect of your co-workers so
that you can function and perform at your best with
your team. Whenever you get an opportunity, prove to
your supervisors that you can lead and motivate your
team members.
9. The second most important quality of a leader is
taking ownership. If someone in your team makes
a mistake, take responsibility for it. Like,
instead of saying – Sam gave me the wrong
information, you can instead just say – I got
the wrong information. Your goal is not to bring
yourself up by pulling others down.
This can happen only if you are able to
communicate well with your team and your
manager, which takes you to the next point –
10. 4-Communication is the key
When your manager or the HR think about your
promotion, they will not just check how hard-working
and intelligent you are. But they will also take
into account whether you are able to articulate your
point and you know exactly what you want to get out
of a conversation or a meeting. Whether it is
communication between your colleagues or your
managers, you have to be thoughtful about what you
speak, and most importantly don’t attempt to win any
argument. Never do this. See, there are two ways of
saying the same thing. For example – Instead of
straightaway saying – This is wrong. You can instead
say – This needs some improvement.
11. Also, communication doesn’t only mean you keep
on speaking but you need to be an active
listener too. Be genuinely interested in
listening to other people’s advice and ideas.
Try to be on common ground with your colleagues
and managers. Have a strong personality and be
open to communication.
If you do this, I assure you that your chances
of getting promoted will increase 2x.
12. If English is a language of communication at
your workplace and you think your English is
stopping you from getting a promotion. Start
practicing with ENGVARTA. EngVarta is an English
Practice App where experts will tell you how you
can communicate with people in your workplace so

13. Besides all that I have said, just remember –
you are not different from the company. When you
become an expert at your job, the company
benefits from it, when you achieve your targets,
the company achieves its targets, when you learn
a skill, you add value to the company. So, all
in all, if you have that positive attitude and
you’re calm in the most vulnerable situations,
it will automatically increase the productivity
of the team.
14. You are working ahead of the curve, you are
setting goals and hitting them, you are solving
the problems of the company.
And still, if you feel that – but your efforts
are not getting acknowledged or noticed. This is
not true at all. Your behavior, your
contribution, and your dedication are really
transparent to your managers and CEO.
And apart from that, if you’re ready to work on
the tips that I gave you, I am sure you will
pave the way for promotion this year.
So, become a powerhouse of your workplace, and
rest assured you’ll find things at their places.
15. The last piece of advice that I would give is –
Start reading some books that give you the
mindset of a leader. There are some amazing
books. Just start upskilling yourself and try to
excel at the different roles and not just stick
to your job description.
