How should I approach asking for a promotion at work?
Approaching a promotion request involves timing, presenting your achievements, and demonstrating your readiness for the next level.
When asking for a promotion, preparation is key. Start by evaluating your contributions and noting any accomplishments that have positively impacted the team or company. Schedule a meeting with your manager, ideally after a period of strong performance or a recent achievement. During the conversation, express your interest in advancing within the company and present your case by highlighting your contributions and how they align with the company’s goals. Be ready to discuss specific ways you plan to add even more value in a higher role. Demonstrating your readiness and commitment to continued growth can help create a strong case for your promotion.
