If you are happy and settled with your current employer but would like to have the opportunity for promotion what is the best way to increase your chances of success without jeopardising your job?
Most forward-thinking businesses realise that some of their workforce are going to, over time, be looking to gain promotion and improve their career prospects and so should welcome any enquiries about this.
The first consideration is whether there is a position available in the company currently or whether you will need to wait until a post becomes vacant or the company expands the number of employees. If a position is advertised, then you will need to alert your line manager to the fact that you would like to be considered. If there does not seem to be the opportunity for this in the near future, it may be that you will need to look further afield.
In preparation for a possible interview it is a wise move to write down your previous accomplishments within the company such as improvements you have made, targets you have reached and any other factors that make you an asset to the company. If you have been able to complete any further training that is necessary for you to work in a managerial role this will benefit your application considerably.
