Whether it's to save money, save time or improve processes in your work, three record every accomplishment, so all that time and money that you helped the company to save, write it down.

Four communicate those accomplishments at performance review, meetings with your manager, talking about yourself and your accomplishments is not showing off, it's showing that you value yourself and that you recognize your worth.

And lastly five, tell your manager that you feel ready for that promotion.

You're not asking whether they think you're ready, You're telling them that you are, tell them that you're interested in moving to the next level in your career and that you would love their support in being able to do that.
