5 Guaranteed Steps For An Upgrade At Work

1. Identify the reasons for your request

Focus on the achievements you have made in your job, such as helping to solve a problem at the company or motivating your colleagues, etc. And mention all the things you can offer the company in the future to develop and achieve its goals and vision. You can say, for example, "You've managed to increase your monthly sales over the past six months by 20% per month" instead of saying, "You've only met monthly sales targets." Employers are looking for candidates who are able to articulate their successes and invest in their resources. It will help to provide clear and accurate examples of enhancing your professional image in front of them, thus accepting more opportunities to accept your promotion.

2. Choose the appropriate time

Do not be surprised by your manager's request, but be sure to talk to him in advance and provide an overview of the subject that you come to.
