How To Get That Promotion

If you're looking for that promotion or pay rise then you'll need to be noticed by your employer, so here's a few tips to stand out from the crowd:

Have a Friendly & Positive attitude towards Everyone you come into contact

Provide Service and treat Everyone as your customer

Be Professional at all times

Always look for extra work, especially when others are ducking for cover to avoid it

Watch what your colleagues are doing, copy from the ones who are receiving praise for their efforts but learn to do it better than them, while avoiding doing what your "lazier or negative" colleagues are doing

Be a Thinker and offer suggestion on how to do things better and more efficiently

Plan and follow your plan

Don't Procrastinate, do what needs to be done NOW!!

Think ahead, when ask to do A & B, do C as well

Anticipate the next question and provide the answer before you're asked

Dress and Act as if you were already in the position you want to reach

Go to lunch with successful people and learn from them

Don't be afraid to ask questions and ask for help

Avoid Office Politics

Be an Individual while being a team player

Learn everything about your company and products

Follow these tips and you won't need to ask for a promotion or extra money, it will happen automatically.
