Having lived abroad and worked as an expat in Germany, I was used to working in intense start up environments.

When I decide to move onto a new company, I knew I might have to start from a lower position and push myself beyond where I’d ever been before.

It only took me a year, but I got there. I got the promotions I wanted.

Here’s how you too can get a promotion, or even three, in less than a year.

4 Simple Tips on How to Get Promoted, And Quickly!

1. Start Off in a Lower Position

At the beginning of my career at the new company I now work for, I found myself in a lower position. While I was grateful for the opportunity, I knew that I had bigger ambitions and desired to make a significant impact in my field. Instead of being disheartened by the lower position, I decided to view it as a stepping stone towards greater achievements. I knew it wouldn’t mean I was stuck in this position forever.

In took this entry-level role because the company was reputable. I dedicated myself to learning as much as possible about the company’s operations, its values, and its long-term goals.
