Please check out this fantastic article by Fortune Magazine with our president, Matt Warzel, as a contributor – How to win a promotion during a recession, according to 4 career experts.
I was fortunate enough to be featured in this fantastic article by Fortune Magazine: ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ถ๐ป ๐ฎ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฑ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฎ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป, ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ ๐ฐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐
A global recession is the worst time to be looking for a promotion, right?
And today, with layoffs, budget cuts, and hiring freezes dominating headlines, the hallmarks of a global recession have certainly been ticked off for many of Americaโs biggest employers.
Indeed, a survey sent out by the World Economic Forum to chief economists in January found that two thirds of respondents believed a recession would happen in 2023โnearly 20% of them considered it โextremely likelyโ.
While many have pushed back their estimations on when the recession will hit, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Developmentโs (OECD) business confidence index has continued to fall since the start of 2022.
And itโs true, with businesses pessimistically tightening the purse strings as they prepare to weather an economic storm, a promotion and pay can be a hard sell to make.
But while experts agree that itโs certainly harder to get ahead in your career during a recessionโthey have inside tips on how candidates can best set themselves up to make it happen.
My Take?
Competition vs collaboration
Sordell was echoed by career coach Matthew Warzel, who said that building rapport with colleagues not only shows youโre a leader but can give you better oversight of the companyโs goals. In a recession, he explained, companies are more focussed on generating revenue and cutting costs.
For people outside of sales functions it can be harder to demonstrate your worth on the bottom line but by working with other departments, you can identify projects and initiatives that you could help support or move along, he continued.
โBe open to new ideas and willing to take on new challenges, even if they are outside of your comfort zone. Analyze the market and see if there are any new opportunities that your company could capitalize on,โ he added. โBring your ideas to your supervisor and be prepared to demonstrate how they could benefit the company.โ
