Doing your job well is no longer enough and waiting for a “spontaneous” promotion is not a strategy. If you want to be considered, say it. Demonstrate your intention and inspire people to adhere to your objective, whether it is within your company or your contacts.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1677167362768{margin-top: 50px !important;}”]\n
Are the individuals that complain about not getting promoted really doing the right thing? Do they have a strategy and the necessary skills? Are they aligned with the company culture and vision? Have they effectively communicated their positioning? Before you get frustrated and leave your job, get advice or coaching from a mentor or a career development specialist. Knowing how to position yourself, build and maintain your network throughout your career is essential in order to be at the forefront when an opportunity for promotion or change arises. This is what Jobprofile provides to talented individuals who decide to take charge of their career<\/a>.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1676450558323{margin-top: 50px !important;}”]\n After 2-4 years in a position, it is legitimate to feel cramped. Nothing is more legitimate then to look for a new professional challenge, whether it is a position with more responsibilities, with a different scope, a better salary or a position where you can develop new skills and fulfill yourself. Frustration often arises when we are not able to develop our careers within our company – which we don’t necessarily want to leave.<\/p>\n Our clients are often talented people who say they are not supported by their managers in their development potential or are not considered at all when internal positions are opened. They wonder why their colleague was promoted and when their turn will come. And above all they wonder what they missed. Today’s talents want to be promoted much faster. The days when you had to wait for your superior to retire or to be promoted, to be promoted are over. Why should your own promotion depend on the careers of others?<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1676450566684{margin-top: 50px !important;}”]\n Did you know that most companies do not have a regularly updated database of their employees? Most of the time, the HR department only has your resume and file on which they hired you. There is therefore no visibility on your recent career path, your continuing education, your new skills and experiences.<\/p>\n Therefore, you have to stop believing or waiting for the increasingly rare “spontaneous promotion”. Doing your job well is no longer enough to be taken into consideration, you have to make it known. It’s not the number of contacts you have that counts, but how many of them know you and especially what they know about you. Should you use social networks and make yourself visible? This is no longer a question. You need a real digital professional identity. Consistency, coherence and connection are the key words for it. Building a LinkedIn profile is a crucial step in the coaching process as we conceive it, after having identified your key competencies and your major achievements. Maintaining relationships includes writing recommendations for significant people in your career path.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1676450583595{margin-top: 50px !important;}”]\n If you are not having what you want, and you feel that you are not getting the recognition you want or that your potential is not being used to its fullest, it is indeed time to change and find the right environment to exercise your skills. In the search for a promotion or a new job, a lot is out of your control. But if there is one thing you can control, it is the work and personal commitment you decide to put into your career. This is how you will become “remarkable”. Investing in personalized coaching that will help you position and “sell” yourself, whether it’s through an Elevator pitch, a LinkedIn profile, or through the preparation of negotiations with your employer, will make you reach your goals faster.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1676450599188{margin-top: 50px !important;}”]\n Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n Whether you need to apply for an internal opportunity, negotiate a raise, request continuing education, renegotiate the terms of a contract, having a clear and consistent professional identity and realistic and attainable goals in mind can only help you achieve your goal.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]1.
