I’m aiming for a promotion and need some guidance. I had told my (new/inexperienced) manager I was interested in moving up on day one, but I was passed up on a promotion. What’s the best way to keep a manager updated on my contributions beyond my role? Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly—especially leading up to reviews? Or all at once at reviews?

You should ask why you were not promoted. I understood that some people don't feel comfortable being that direct but if you don't ask you will not get the information you need. Tell them you were disappointed and wanted to understand why so that you can close the gaps. If they don't know the answers they should point you to who knows. You want to see if they avoid the answer, give you vague spin, or give you real reasons. And if the real reason is something like we can't afford you at the next level or that there's a line of people ahead of you then take stock. You want to know if they value you enough to invest in helping you advance or just want a body to generate revenue so that you don't work hard for something not in your grasp. No need to grind for people who won't or cannot reward you. Also, ask other people at you job how promotion works. Its rarely on how well you do your job. Lastly, don't overlook promotion by going to another company. That's quite common. Good luck!

Did you ask your manager why you were passed up? What are you lacking and what area you should focus on?

You need to know what you’re missing to move up.

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!
