Egypt Today, egypt today 10 best ways to get a promotion at work

If you haven't been promoted yet, then maybe it's time to change your approach at the workplace
Dubai - ArabToday

There is no definite path to getting a promotion at work. If there was then there wouldn’t be anyone who would deal with all the entry level work. You were employed by your company because the manager either liked something about you, or liked your potential, so it’s up to you to show what you can do and why you deserve a promotion. 
1. He/she doesn't stand out

“Tim who?”. Poor Tim, he’s just missed out on that promotion because all he did was turn up to work every day, did what was expected of him, and went home at 6pm. What’s wrong with that, some may ask. Nothing, but is that a good enough reason for promotion? Not really, that’s what he’s paid to do. 
Don’t be afraid to try something different in order to stand out from the rest, and nothing will make you stand out more than taking on the boss's boring work! Do more than you are paid to do or wear a brighter tie - just stand out from the crowd - in a good way. 
As our friends at CashNetUSA found out, working hard contributes just 10 per cent to the promotion decision. What matters most is that your bosses know how hard you work (60 per cent). 
2. Don't play too safe

'Calculated risk' is the key word here. If Tim waits for permission for everything he does, it might make his boss feel that he's afraid to think for himself. With a well-planned decision having a good probability of success, people will notice that you are prepared to take risk for success while taking responsibility for that risk. 

If your risk pays off then you’ll be heralded, and if it goes wrong then you’ve made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes, so don’t be afraid to show that you’ve got the nerve.
3. Offer solutions, not problems

There are two types of employees who speak up; those who highlight problems, and those who offer solutions. Which do you think an employer prefers? Anyone can look around and identify a problem, but equally anyone can offer a solution, it just requires a degree of thought. Instead of telling the line manager that the photocopier is broken, Tim could call the maintenance man himself.
Your solutions don’t have to resolve problems for the United Nations; regardless of scale they will showcase your ability to think logically.
