Looking for some advice on how to advance your career? If so, then this is the article for you!
There are a number of things you can do to help with progressing your career. But we have picked out, what we believe, are the three things that will have the biggest impact.
Network
Internal and external networking can be very effective when it comes to opening up opportunities. If people know you, you are more likely to be talked about when new opportunities come up. If you work in a large organisation you may not get the chance to meet everyone, so make the most of office socials and business events and speak to people you don’t usually get the chance to. We also suggest that you connect with anyone you work with on LinkedIn.
You know the saying “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know”? So start getting to know the people around you and building out a strong network.
Continually look to improve
By continuing to improve you will always be learning, which will help you on your journey to becoming an expert in your field and develop new skills and strengthen existing skills. Always try and be the best you can be and never rest on your laurels. Look into courses, read books and ask questions. No-one is perfect, technologies and ideas are always changing, so you should never stop learning!
Look at new opportunities
Not every company will be able to offer you continuous career progression opportunities. It could be down to the size of the company or even structure. So if you feel you’ve reached as far as you can in your current company, maybe it’s time to make a move and look for a new opportunity elsewhere.
