HOW TO ASK FOR A PROMOTION DURING AN UNCERTAIN TIME

Share Tweet Share Submit0



Seeking a promotion can be fraught in the best of circumstances, especially if
it involves office politics. But now especially is a challenging time because
many U.S. companies (and their employees) aren’t sure where they stand. Gross
domestic product (GDP) plummeted by an annualized rate of 32.9% between April
and June, according to the Commerce Department—the largest decline on record—and
businesses are struggling to recover from supply chain disruptions, widespread
closures, staffing shortages, and market volatility.

All these conditions prompted many employers to issue pay freezes, furlough
staff, and ask for voluntary pay cuts or leave. It’s an unusual time to ask for
a promotion, but the demand for leadership could position you for new
opportunities. To make the most of this moment, here’s how to broach the subject
with an employer.


HOW TO GET PROMOTED—EVEN IN A TIGHT JOB MARKET


1. ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELF.



Business leaders are rewarded for controlling costs while maximizing profit.
It’s in their best interest to extract as much value as possible without
overpaying by a dollar. Their bonuses and continued employment are contingent on
meeting these goals.

Therefore, if you want a promotion, you must first recognize the importance of
advocating for yourself. In business, no one is there to take care of you—only
you can decide how you want to be treated and then act accordingly. Be assertive
and state explicitly that you want to advance.


2. IDENTIFY NEW VALUE PROPOSITIONS.

Businesses are developing new value propositions to cope with market
volatility—and if you want to change your role in the midst of the pandemic, you
must identify different ways to contribute to the organization. Make the
investment seem worthwhile by aligning your transition to the organization’s
overall objectives. For example, if your company is digitizing their customer
services, explain how you could support those goals in your target role.

As a first step, think about the gaps in the company that need to be filled.
Then, focus on these pain points and how you can help.


3. GATHER EVIDENCE OF YOUR WORK.

Outline your success at the organization in a “resume of accomplishments.” If
possible, tie your performance to concrete metrics—for example, cite your sales
ledger, written feedback, error rate, lead-to-customer ratio, etc. Which metrics
you use should depend on what’s most relevant to your current and target titles.

As you build a case in favor of your advancement, don’t lose sight of the
company’s goals for filling the position. Your seniority and previous
accomplishments don’t entitle you to a promotion—ultimately, the decision boils
down to finding the best candidate. When you interview for a new position, even
if it’s an internal opening, explain what you can bring to the table if you’re
hired.


4. PREPARE A PROPOSAL.

Think about what you’d like to do in the first 90 days of your promotion. What
about the first 6 months and 12 months? Write down your objectives and be
prepared to discuss these ideas with your supervisor. To convince an employer
you deserve a promotion, you need to also persuade them to believe in your
vision and strategy. Spend time organizing a deck for these ideas so you can
share them with your boss.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Does your organization need a new position? Here’s how to pitch a new job
description.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


5. ANTICIPATE QUESTIONS.

If you’re going to take on a new role in an organization, your department will
need to figure out how they’re going to fill your current position. To make the
decision easier for your manager, come up with a solution ahead of time.

Depending on your circumstances, you could propose any of the following
solutions:

 * Delegating responsibilities to a colleague.
 * Adding to your current list of responsibilities.
 * Automating or streamlining tasks.
 * Outsourcing to a third-party.
 * Discontinuing old procedures to prioritize new objectives.
 * Hiring a replacement.

When you make a proposal, be careful not to overestimate your abilities—you need
to have the time and resources to succeed in your new role. Seriously think
about what’s realistic for you at this time and ensure that your new schedule
will be sustainable.


6. DEMONSTRATE YOUR LEADERSHIP ABILITIES AND DEDICATION TO THE TEAM.

Think about the leadership qualities that are the most valuable—for example,
being a strong communicator, staying calm under pressure, empathizing with
colleagues, motivating a team—and then exemplify these traits in your everyday
work. If you feel frazzled or overworked, take a step back and prioritize. To
show an employer you’re ready to assume new responsibilities, you must appear
collected, organized, and positive.

When your company hosts events, including meetings and social hours, you should
also try to be an active and engaged participant. Visibility at the company will
make you seem like you’re committed to the team and can help establish you as a
leader.


WHEN SHOULD YOU NOT ASK FOR A PROMOTION?

When you ask for a promotion can be just as important as how you pursue it. In
general, you should schedule time to discuss your goals one-on-one with your
employer, usually around a performance review or as soon as a position vacates.

If there isn’t a job posting, consider the following:

 * Have there been layoffs recently? If so, asking for a promotion when there
   isn’t a public listing could be unrealistic and seem out-of-touch.
 * Have you or your team recently failed to meet an objective? Try to wait until
   after your next win to reinforce a positive image.
 * If you’re unhappy at work, ask yourself if you really want to stay with the
   same employer. Changing your position probably won’t fix problems with the
   company culture.
 * If you’ve lost patience with your current role or feel burnt-out, a promotion
   could increase your workload.
 * If you only want the promotion for prestige or a pay boost, you’re probably
   not the best candidate. Think about what’s important to you and how your
   career could reflect those values. You could be more motivated in another
   position or with a new employer—or you could decide to request a raise or
   title change instead of a promotion.
 * Confidence can help convince an employer to promote you, but it will also be
   critical to your continued success after you accept the offer. To thrive
   emotionally and professionally, you must be capable of handling the work
   that’s assigned to you.
 * Everyone has a right to change their mind, but if you plan to vacate the role
   in the next 12 months, now might not be the best time to take a promotion.
   Doing so will create more paperwork and headache for your colleagues, and it
   reflects a lack of commitment or foresight.

3 Questions a Career Coach Will Ask—Plus 3 Questions to Ask Them in Return

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


INTERVIEWING FOR A PROMOTION

It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone in your department that you want to
advance. Ask your manager for feedback about what it will take for you to reach
the next level, and then implement those suggestions. It will usually take more
than one conversation to receive a promotion, especially if there isn’t a
position vacancy, so try to revisit this conversation at least once a quarter.
Check in with your manager to ensure you’re moving in the right direction, and
don’t expect the promotion to materialize overnight.

To start laying the groundwork for a promotion, read our tips on interviewing
and career transitions. Want to accelerate the process with one-on-one help? Ivy
Exec can connect you with a network of executive coaches who specialize in offer
negotiation, pitch creation, job search strategy, and interview preparation.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preparing for an interview, or for pitching a promotion can be intimidating. A
Career Coach can help you plan what to say, how to say it, and how to achieve
your goals. Get matched with a Career Coach now!
