Do you think trying to get a referral for an upper management or director position is a useful exercise? I would have thought I was too high up on the food chain, so to speak. However this job market is no joke.

Actually I do. Formally working in HR. I can tell you that letter referral from upper management, whether in your present company or if you would possibly left a pass company on good standings is very helpful sometimes even a personal but professional letter of recommendation from even if you’ve done charity work or volunteer work also speak volumes of you as a person & possible employee for either your current company for a promotion or to move onto another company. Some companies is not only look for your experience as a possible employee, but who you are as a person & what you do out of side of the work environment. This is why companies also are onto checking people social media pages because they are wanting to see who they bring into the company is going to represent the company in the best light. Good luck on your future endeavor either with the company or with or if you’re looking to move on.

I work as a Business Development Manager at a sports club.. I’ve been given a couple of months “trial” in the 6 figure and above sales in which I don’t see going back to my other role on lower sales. This was a somewhat good move for me until I consider missing out on commission each month that was more than my salary. (£25k salary, over £2k per month commission)
How do I go about raising this concern? I believe I should be paid more now and at least change my job title?
