When you’re ready to take on more responsibilities and work on new projects, it may be time to ask for a promotion. It can be an intimidating process but learning when and how to make the request can make things easier–and could certainly be beneficial for your career.

You recently got a promotion you’ve been working hard to earn—congratulations! Reflecting a promotion on your resume can show professional growth, making you a competitive candidate for future opportunities. While it’s simple to list your growth from company to company, it might seem confusing to include promotions during your time at just one company.

Completing a promotion interview successfully can allow you to earn a raise, take on a leadership role and advance your career within your current company. Although this type of meeting might appear similar to a standard job interview with a new company, an in-house conversation often requires special preparation. In this article, we discuss how to get ready for a promotion interview so you can pursue your career goals effectively.

Earning a promotion enables you to assume a more important role in your company, earn a higher salary and gain a heightened sense of accomplishment. To effectively advance your career within your company, you will need to have excellent work performance and catch your supervisors’ attention. While performance, experience and skills are common requirements for a job promotion in many workplaces, you can take extra measures to become a prime candidate for your desired position. In this article, we discuss how you can increase your chances of getting a promotion.

One of the primary reasons that employees work hard to earn promotions is the promise of a raise. The exact amount to expect from a raise depends largely on the employer's budget and the specific duties associated with the new job title. If you are currently working toward a promotion or if you are pursuing a position with a new employer, you need to know what you can expect from a future raise.

Writing an effective promotion request letter can be an important step in earning a new position. A well-written and well-timed letter may increase your chances of being considered for a promotion. The letter should highlight your value to the company, your ability to succeed in a higher role and position you as a viable candidate.

For many people, a single job is a temporary position on the way to a more ideal career.

Asking for a promotion can be successful, provided the timing and situation are right. In this article, you will learn when the right time might be to ask for a promotion and also helpful tips on how to ask for one successfully.

While it’s natural to be disappointed if you don’t receive the promotion, the way you behave after you have been passed over can have a significant impact on your next promotional opportunity. Behaving professionally and using the experience as a learning opportunity can impress upon your supervisor that you are ready for a promotion the next time. Positioning yourself after the setback of being passed over can take time and resilience.
