Nobody wants to stay still for very long. Some people prefer to stay inside of their comfort zone, but it’s good to be uncomfortable. When you’re uncomfortable, you know that you’re improving and developing. Consider the 3 things below if you want to advance your career:
Can You Speak To Your Boss?
Sometimes, all you need to do is speak to your boss. You could have a chat with them or request a meeting, and put together a good argument as to why they should consider promoting you. Once they know this is what you want, they may be able to give you some pointers as to how you can achieve it.
What Interests/Skills Do You Have?
When advancing your career, it’s a good idea to put your interests and skills to use. How can you make it so that your next step incorporates things you enjoy?
Will You Go Back To School?
By going back to school, you can gain new qualifications and even degrees that can help you to advance your career or change it completely. You’re never too old to do anything, so this is something you should seriously consider. Maybe you could even do a part time course or a night class. This will only be for a short time, and at the end of it, you’ll be able to apply for new careers with your new qualifications.
