SELF PROMOTION

• Many people in todays hyper-social work world
  think that self-promotion is a bad term. People
  no more consider it as the professional
  responsibility it is rather required for the
  career survival. If you do not value then
  employers will also not. If you fail in
  showcasing your skills, you would end up lying in
  the bottom of the employers selection list.

SELF PROMOTION

• Much of the career success depends on how one
  promotes oneself in the continuously growing
  market of stiff competition. The ability to
  promote one correctly helps the person reach the
  pinnacle of success. Yet many people have a
  blatant inability to properly express their value
  to higher-ups and hiring managers.

SELF PROMOTIONSHOW YOUR BEST

• The fact that boss knows everything about you
  work is a myth. The minimum required knowledge
  would be possessed by him but he surely wont be
  expert at your field.. He probably has countless
  other responsibilities than his direct reports,
  and is increasingly stretched too thin. So how to
  positively promote yourself in front of your boss
  is in your hand.

6
MODEST ABOUT WORK

• Be modest about work. It is indeed advisable to
  let others discover your skills and greatness.
  The hindrance here is that most of the times
  people wont find any good quality within you.
  Thus self-promotion comes in action which when
  done properly is not bragging but informing.

7
CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMPANY

• Remember and recall the reason you were hired. It
  was because your employers believed that you
  would give them more than what you are costing
  from them. The company or organization always
  wants their employees to produce more than what
  they are being paid. Thus always quantify your
  work and highlight the points where company got
  benefited because of your role in the team.

SHOW YOUR CONTRIBUTION

• For any organization or employer you are there
  investment and is seen as commodity giving them
  profit in return of the salary they invest behind
  you. For that it becomes priority for you to
  accomplish your tasks adding value to their
  business. You also need to be narrative about
  your work being done in time and your ability to
  take up the extra work. Only when your employers
  start feeling your worth they would start valuing
  you.

BUILD CONNECTIONS

• Unless you are just starting out or have a
  superhuman memory, youll need to do some heavy
  lifting to track down your past accomplishments -
  end results, problems solved, projects completed
  on time and on budget, and so forth. To begin,
  look at old resumes, business planners,
  performance reviews, and journals. Then reach out
  to family, friends, managers, co-workers etc.

  final step has to be testing. Youll convey what
  you did, what that resulted in, and the value or
  net result.
