Question
Succeed at Work

“Will I be able to move up at my work?”

Answer

Being able to move up in your career depends on a few things.

There are usually more opportunities for advancement at larger organizations. But it will also depend on the skills and experience you develop in your career.

Talk to your supervisor about some of these options:

  • Building skills that interest you or help you grow. Is it time for a workshop or on-the-job training?
  • Taking on new challenges, such as projects, assignments, or work location changes that use or develop skills you value.
  • Asking for a lateral move to a job that can increase your skills and knowledge.
  • Redesigning your job so you can do more of the work you find satisfying. You may be able to trade less satisfying tasks with co-workers.
