If you hold the same position for many years, performing monotonous work day after day, sooner or later be prepared to face emotional burnout.

Therefore, it is important to maintain communication with management and move up the career ladder. However, you should be prepared for the fact that not everyone will get a promotion.

We offer some advice for those who want to prove themselves and receive recognition from their superiors.

Don't ask for a raise if you're not ready yet.

Before you ask for a raise, make sure you are fully prepared for your new responsibilities. Some people quickly burn out after a promotion and leave their job because they can't handle the workload.

Work on improving your skills, then imagine that you have already been promoted. If this thought still makes you afraid and insecure, perhaps you are not ready for a promotion yet. You can fool others, but it is more difficult to fool yourself.

Be visible

Don't stay in the shadows: Instead of disappearing from the radar, make every effort to stand out among your colleagues. Show initiative, perform your duties with a little extra, and actively participate in the life of the project or company.

Learn new things

Developing your skills is a must for career advancement. Forget about social media and other distractions and focus on self-improvement.

Show stability

Avoid frequent job changes, as companies prefer to hire stable employees. Constantly changing jobs indicates unreliability of the candidate, which reduces the chances of promotion, even if the employee performs his duties well and has no complaints.
