I'm having trouble getting promoted. Many people tell me my designs are more senior level, I now throw my phone in my desk, and I'm more punctual but I'm not really sure how to wow them.

Often, the best way to get promoted is by leaving your current agency altogether.

Why don't you ask them directly what exactly needs to be done to be promoted? And if there is even a budget + open role for promotion. Don't do the guessing game.

Thank you. I'll try that. And apply.

So what is your role exactly? A designer? Is assistant AD like an associate AD? What kind of projects do you work on? If you’re an AD are you expected to concept? If so, how are you conceptually? Are you selling through work?

I’ve been in community corrections for almost two years. I love what I do in case management, for inmates working on reentry but I would like to explore other job roles and start making a better income. I’m really interested in tech and project management roles. I just do not know where to start far as getting my foot in the door with either industry. I have a BA criminology, I adjust to quick changes, I thrive in fast paced environments and I learn quick. I have a great work ethic.
