What are good solid reasons to ask for a promotion?

Answer 1

Some good solid reasons to ask for a promotion:

1. Good attendance. Rarely late. Covers for other employees for vacations and illnesses.

2. Increased responsibilities. Completed tasks according to instruction. Meets deadlines. Doesn't need constant supervision.

3. Offers new ideas and constructive ways to improve the workplace.

4. Good attitude. Positive and cooperative with staff and customers.

5. Goes above and beyond the call of duty (but not to excess).
Just doesn't come in and "do the job" and "go home." Volunteers for projects and helps other staff with theirs.

These qualities demonstrate to the employer good reasons to ask for a promotion and a raise.

Answer 2

I would get a copy of the job description for the next job up and point out all of the duties required for the next job that you either already do, or you've had to appropriate training to be able to do.

In my company you have to prove you're already doing the next job up to actually get it. Makes it hard to get promotions, but the benefits are great so it's worth the slog.

Don't talk about needing the money even if you do - your financial difficulties are not their responsibility and it will make you look bad to be trotting out a sob story. Prove you DESERVE the promotion - that's what impresses managers. Good luck.

Answer 3

I've done an excellent job, thus far. I know I can take on the additional responsibilities and here is how I know. Here are the reasons that the company will benefit from having ME in this position.

Bad reasons: I need the money. I deserve it. I'm bored. I've worked in my old position long enough. I was promised a promotion...

Answer 4

1- I already do the work this position requires
2-I am ready to take on additional responsibility
3- I have mastered my current position and would like a new challenge

Answer 5

you have a family to take care of, you go overboard of the required duties for your position, you plan on being with them for a while, everyone with the same title is getting one but they're working less than you do, you've been in the position long enough, etc.
