Plan for Career Advancement

When considering career options, determine if a company has an advancement plan to meet your goals. Ask yourself these questions:

• Is there a suitable position to which I can advance within the company?
• Do I have the education and skills to advance to this position?
• Am I prepared for a promotion?
• Do I go above and beyond in my current position?
• Have my performance reviews been above average/superior?
• Do I meet my commitments on a consistent basis and in a timely manner?
• Do I keep up with industry trends?

It is sometimes difficult to be objective when it comes to determining our worth to our employer. Solicit feedback from your employer for an objective opinion.
