4 beliefs to give up when making a case for a promotion
www.fastcompany.com: There’s no doubt about it–you need to work hard to get a promotion. But unfortunately, being a dedicated employee doesn’t always cut it. You have to do a lot of upfront work and even prepare months in advance. You need to build relationships with decision-makers, and if you’re planning to advocate for it, you need to make sure that you time your ask appropriately.

This article has some helpful tips, if for nothing else then for getting yourself in the right mindset to ask for a promotion. It’s an important skill that’s too often overlooked, especially by women who are not as conditioned to be aggressive as our male counterparts. Especially in a non-standard industry like theatre, it can be incredibly difficult to know how much you are worth, when to ask for a raise, and how to ask for a raise, not to mention that it is made even harder because often we don’t work for the same person for more than a month at a time. Outside of the union and resident artists and technicians, most of the theatre industry negotiates pay before each show they are hired for, and in most cases before they have had a chance to prove themselves directly to their bosses. Learning how much you are worth and how to advocate for yourself is an incredibly difficult skill to learn.
