Your dream of getting a Promotion

A promotion is certainly every employees dream in the working environment. At the end of the day, as an employee whose constantly under pressure to make ends meet, it is not hard to see why. Every employee dreams of having a higher salary, better conditions of service and better lifestyle. Most employees also want better benefits which they can visibly see their bosses enjoying as he/she walks in and out of the door. Now, not everybody can be the boss, but in the working environment you can certainly earn yourself a promotion. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that as long as it doesn't get to the point that you begin envying others or holding personal grudges on somebody else who got the promotion instead of yourself. Now before we discuss how to earn yourself that long awaited promotion, what do employers look for in a potential manager or boss.

Stuff Employers want to see in You

Employers are pretty straightforward if you come to think of it. Most employers want to see their business make more money each and every time. If you can do that for them then you are gold in their eyes. Employers want to see more clients come in and more money in their pockets every single time they see you working. So if you have mastered the business so well and are doing a fabulous job, they may feel that you would make an excellent employee if they placed you in the front line. Ofcourse its not always about the money, but its also about loyalty. Many employers hate dishonest employees no matter what they tell you. You have to understand that at the end of the day employers want somebody they can rely on and leave confidential matters in his/her responsibility if need arises.

Getting your promotion in the Working Environment

1) Commitment: If you want a promotion you have got to be committed to the job like it was your third important thing to you. This should be noticeable to all your superiors. What does committment mean? for starters getting to the job late wont earn you any points. You have to realize that employers are always observant on what you do. Questions they ask themselves is 1) How does he handle tasks and assignments 2) How is the quality of his work and 3) How is his relationship with others....SEE!!

2) Handling Pressure: Employers are interested to know how you handle yourself in the face of pressure. This is critical because if as an employee you can still maintain your cool, then even under pressure the possibility of poor judgement or poor discussions are not likely to be a serious issue. In the working environment, pressure is just simply unavoidable and as you climb the ladder you have to be able to handle it.

3) Delegation of Responsibility: Lets say you are given a management responsibility, there will be need to delegate and supervise others. If you can't handle that effectively then why in the world should you even be promoted.

4) Qualifications and Experience: Not sure too much about qualifications but if you have been in the working environment for many, many years then you are assured that your superiors would automatically feel that you may be the best person for a promotion because it is assumed that you understand the organization pretty much better than anybody else.

Again, there are so many other things that can help you get your promotion but the point is that you have to keep on learning. The working environment is dynamic so learn to change with it.
