Read the article.
I
If you’re a younger employee, you may have experienced the struggle of getting noticed for your work. Do not worry, you have lots of opportunities to champion yourself at work and point out your victories: in a range of fields. There’s a definite art involved in the delicacies of advertising your accomplishments. If you’re always talking about how good you are at your job and how lucky the company is to have you, you’ll come across as selfish. But speak too little of your work, you could miss out on promotions. If you want to take your career to the next level, you need to champion yourself at work.
II
The first rule of championing yourself at work is to have something worth boasting about. You need a particular achievement, because going around telling people you’re great for no reason at all makes you sound full of yourself. You should always have something specific, and it should be measurable.
There’s a saying in business: “If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.” We know; things like your team’s morale are important too, but the fact is your boss, your boss’ boss and everyone else has a preference for numbers. Why? Numbers are an easy handle. Your boss could spend a few hours a week sitting in on the sales team, watching how many deals are made, and the overall mood of the division for example.
III
When you achieve the result you’ve aimed for, you truly have something to boast about. However, if you play that victory off the wrong way you’ll come across as boastful. So instead of going around boasting about what a fine job you did, share with the others around you, how proud they should be of the success the company had. Do what you can to share the praise: It makes you look like a bigger man and nobody will be confused about who actually made the win possible.
IV
Have you ever had a question for your boss or something to get their feedback on? You may have even felt unimportant or unappreciated to them. Your boss doesn’t mean to ignore you, he’s just busy. Get a promotion to management, and you’ll quickly realise how much work your boss was dealing with that you weren’t even aware of. They have people above them to answer to, their own work and you and your coworkers on the level below. So don’t feel bad if you get an apathetic reception from your boss, maybe you caught them at a bad time. Keep bringing up the good things you’re accomplishing. Don’t give up!
