Posts Tagged ‘Promotions’

I just read the article Why Men Don’t Promote Women More. As the name suggests, the author believes that women don’t get promoted as quickly as men because they aren’t as pushy.

And while I’m not sure whether I agree with the author’s assertions, he did hit the nail on the head when it comes to how and why young people are promoted:

But the reality is that promotions rarely happen just because you’re there and you’re good. You need to tell people how good you are. This is especially true at more junior levels, where it can be harder to get noticed and there is more competition for plum positions.

It’s true. You need to ring your own bell to get noticed. Just working hard is not enough. People need to know what you’ve accomplished through your hard work if you are ever going to get ahead.
