All in Promotions
I’ve mentioned that many years ago after getting promoted, I found myself earning less than my peers in the same role.
Promotions definitely have benefits.
Are you paid less than your peers? Are you feeling resentful?
Promoting from within has many perks.
While many companies have caps regarding how much an employee’s salary can be increased at once, others do not.
When I was 17 and I got my driver’s license, I was over the moon with excitement about the freedom and possibilities this would bring.
There’s a bit of a learning curve when you first become a manager.
If you’re going for a promotion and the hiring team are people who have already supervised you or know your work very well, you should know that their decision about whether or not you could succeed in the role has very likely already been made.
When someone has agreed to serve as your reference during the hiring process, it’s important that you provide them with everything they need to help you get the job.
If you have your eyes on getting a promotion, you should know that your interview for that promotion is weighted a lot less heavily than the company’s knowledge of what you’ve already produced while working there.
When you’re preparing for a job interview it’s important to spend part of your preparations on learning about the people on the other side of the table.
Panel interviews are feared by many because having a team of executives shoot questions at you in every direction feels unnerving.
Promotions, like any new position, come with growing pains.
Do you stay late at work? There seems to be this unspoken rule about how working late means you demonstrating great commitment to your company.
Congrats on your promotion! Now—let’s get you compensated according to your market value.
I’ve been promoted 5 times in my career. As a manager, I’ve promoted others 7 times.
