6 ways to get your career moving
January 17, 2020
We promise we won't give you the usual clichés
1. Put your hand up
If you’re looking for more responsibilities at work, take the lead and don’t wait to be approached.
2. Expand your skills
It may feel like years since you last studied, but a key to success is to never stop learning. If you’re wanting a promotion then look at the skills needed and work towards getting those.
3. Find a mentor
Seek out advocates around the business who’ll help with your career. Having a mentor can help you navigate the more challenging times at work as well as give you someone to bounce ideas off.
4. Don’t wait for a pay rise
While getting a pay rise can depend on a lot of things, willingness to ask for more money and a well-prepared pitch are going to increase your chances. Know the process, prepare the evidence, have a figure in mind and book time with your boss.
5. Apply anyway
Been thinking about applying for a promotion but aren’t confident you tick all the boxes? Apply anyway as you may be underselling yourself.
