If you are after a pay rise and career advancement it can be better if you decide to stay in your current employment and get promoted.

But don’t just sit there!

That’s not going to get you promoted.

Don’t expect your boss to come along and say ‘Hey you, I am promoting you to the next level. Here’s a 10% pay rise’.

You have to take action.

Being good at your job might get you a promotion eventually.

Get that job promotion faster by raising your profile and being seen.

So let’s assume you are good at your job, otherwise you have no chance of job promotion.

First task is to let your boss know you are looking for a job promotion.

Discuss it with them.

Be prepared to be told ‘you are not ready yet’.

If so, ask what you have to do, to have a chance of promotion.

Next, take on high profile tasks.

Bosses and companies like individuals who take on special projects. These individuals are often promoted on the back of the successful delivery of one project – make sure it’s you.

Network.

I recently detailed how you can get a job promotion through networking, right here at my good friend, Donald Latumahina’s blog:

Networking Can Get You A Job Promotion

When you have your one-to-one with the boss mention the projects you are involved in and the concrete results which have benefited the company, as a result.

Shout About It

When you have the opportunity, stand up in front of people and publicly speak about the special project you are working on and the benefits it will bring.

So if you want more income, go for promotion in your current job.

It can be easier than you think.
