If you want to get ahead in your job, you have to draw attention to yourself and present your achievements.
How and why you should sell yourself well.
Self-marketing is not the same as being a self-promoter and braggart.
You think: if you perform well, you will advance on the career ladder?
Unfortunately this is not automatically the case.
The boss must also recognize the achievements.
This means that you have to actively communicate your successes according to the motto “
Do good and talk about it.
“It has nothing to do with showing off.
At least if you are doing really well.
Anyone who just acts up and is exposed as a whisker is no longer taken seriously.
Successful at work: Awareness of skills and successes
Many career experts advise to specialize and shine with expert knowledge instead of usurping every project.
Because a boss or customer prefers someone who has qualified for a specific area instead of generalists.
So go inside: what are your strengths?
Only then can you market yourself successfully.
Think specifically of situations in which you succeeded in something.
Or follow up on positive feedback from third parties in order to become aware of your performance, recommends Doris Brenner, a freelance consultant specializing in personnel development and career

Self-marketing: How to present yourself well in the job
And how does self-marketing succeed?
By talking about your own achievements.
Don't wait for the boss to ask about the progress of a new project - report positive results at the appropriate moment.
Show what you can do and what added value you offer the company.
Always demonstrate your skills with examples, ideally using specific situations in which your behavior has led to a positive result.
An important point in spite of everything: stay authentic.
And don't mess with your colleagues.
People who eat alone in front of the PC during their lunch break instead of going to the canteen are quickly forgotten.
The boss notices who is popular among employees and who is not.
