You want to get a promotion. How do you get your boss to notice you?
All opportunities start with a conversation - if you don't have the conversation, your boss will never know what you want. Then understand why you want the promotion - is it the 'badge' that comes with it, is it the pay increase or is it the challenge, the content, the stretch. If you ask for a promotion you have to be ready to take on that additional responsibility and push yourself. Are you ready for possible sacrifices that might have to come - for a time at least - with the new role? Finally clarify what it is that your boss is looking for, to achieve the promotion? Is it crisp and clear, and it is achievable over a timeline that's acceptable to you? Keep checking in on your progress, accept feedback, course correct and move forward.
