Just because you’re happy in your current job doesn’t mean your eyes aren’t fixed on the future. Even if you just started in a position, you might already be thinking about how you can secure a promotion. At HCR, we’re excited about helping job candidates achieve their goals. Here are our tips for getting promoted in the next three months:

Be Essential

Want to boost your odds of getting promoted? Become an essential team member that managers rely on to get through the day. One of the best ways to become indispensible is to master a skill or ability that poses a challenge to others in the office. Find out what you do better than anyone else and make sure you do it with a positive attitude every time.

Argue for Yourself

If you’re looking to secure a promotion in the next few months, you probably aren’t the kind of person who likes waiting around. So be proactive and brainstorm a list of accomplishments that you can share with management when the opportunity arises. For best results, offer up numbers whenever possible to prove your point. For example, if you raised sales in your department by 15 percent, find and showcase the data to back that up.

Stay Calm

If you’re seeking a promotion, the odds are good that you want to move into a leadership role. One of the top traits companies seek in managers is the ability to stay cool under pressure. After all, no one wants to work for a team leader who has a melt down when something goes wrong. Instead of getting upset over issues that arise, view them as opportunities and try to learn from your mistakes.
