Featured Article - Am I Promotable?

Is your career stagnant? Are you looking to advance, but spinning your wheels? Perhaps a self-assessment is in order. To move forward in your career, you need to do more than just show up. Ask yourself the following questions:

Am I a positive person?
Do I fit in at work, i.e., do people like me?
Do I volunteer to serve on projects?
Am I a self-starter?
Do people come to me for suggestions?
Do I get along well with my boss?
Is my company doing well?

If you answered "yes" to all of the above questions, you are most likely promotable. If you couldn't answer "yes" to every question, determine what you need to do to correct the situation.
