We all have that one coworkers that just got promoted that put in the work and deserved the promotion. I recently worked with one of my colleagues that got promoted for the work she has put in for many years. What is one skill that will get your promoted within the workplace?

People skills. Or more specifically, manager skills. Knowing how to get on your manager's good side and have them go to bat for you when you're up for promotion. It's seriously so important. You can be the best employee in the world and stay at the same level for a decade if the decision makers don't notice or don't care about you.

I agree. It’s so important to have social skill when dealing with multiple personalities with customers and employees. If you can navigate and show that you are ready to take on managing others then the promotion is already at your feet.

Truthfully, at a lot of the companies I’ve worked for, you have to play the politics. I hate to say it, but it seems like the people who are in with management are the ones who get promoted—not necessarily the ones who work the hardest. I do think being a likeable person helps as well.

Oh yea I definitely see that at my job right now. There is so much politics within the workplace. You have to be able to navigate how to move and befriend certain managers to get that promotion. Definitely being a people person will help with that promotion as well.

For my role at my workplace, if I am not making mistakes while working on cases plus participating in meetings and all can lead to a promotion. Since I deal with people' s money, it is important for me to make sure I do not make mistakes.

I get why that making a lot of mistakes in the industry that you are in can cause you to not get promoted. I’m assuming you are in the finance industry? I know you have to get the numbers right before anything.

Absolutely! For me, I think consistency in delivering results and taking initiative really gets noticed. Hard work speaks louder than anything else.

Oh yea definitely agree that hard work and results will lead you to a promotion at work. One of my colleagues that I work with for years has gotten a promotion more than two times in the last 5 years. She didn’t know anyone but she put in that work and got promoted.

Hi all! I'm new to Fishbowl and a recent college graduate. I'm looking for a full-time role once my summer internship ends and I'd appreciate help in finding some openings.

I have experience in pharmaceutical advertising (account services) and the publishing industry (editorial). I'm looking to work at a company I can utilize my passion for writing and account experience. Maybe public relations or corporate communications? I'm up for anything!

I appreciate any suggestions that come my way! :)

Last night I went over to my friends house (she has 2 kids, 2 and 4 yo). She and her husband were asking me about my pregnancy and planning. And were asking what I’ve prepped to date. I’m only 13w2 days so I think it’s way to early for buying stuff, but I did mention we hired a baby nurse for when the baby comes. My friend completely berated me, short of calling me a bad mom already, saying “what is she going to do all day? Don’t you want to bond with your child?”. I’m so upset by this.
