Every employee worries about the day they decide to ask their manager or boss for a promotion. You might feel both nervous and excited about the outcome at the same time.
Look for promotion opportunities that will help you achieve your career goals.There’s not much point in asking for a promotion if there is nowhere for you to be promoted to.
Think of some recent wins and accomplishments in your professional career.What have you done that has been valuable to the company and made you look great?
Be sure to give them some context of what this meeting is about by mentioning you’d like to discuss your performance and potential opportunities for advancement.
Don’t immediately launch into your pitch, but don’t waste too much time, either. You want to get to the point of the meeting and not spend your time socializing.
Briefly list your accomplishments with the company. This will put you in a positive light and remind your manager how valuable you are to your company.
Be direct and say,“I would like to be considered for [the new position or project],” followed by how well you think you’ll be able to handle the new role and responsibilities.
