A promotion opportunity recently came up in Vikram’s department. The job matched his skills perfectly, so he was shocked when he didn't get an interview, especially when he learned that the successful candidate was less experienced than him.

 

When Vikram asked his boss why he hadn't been considered for the role, he said the selection panel didn't know anything about him, so he couldn't convince them that he was the right person for the job.

 

Conversely, the successful applicant was well known to the panel and had built strong connections with influential people and had represented the department at company-wide gatherings. As a result, they knew what he could do.

 

Unfortunately, this is a common scenario. People who get noticed get the best assignments, while those who keep their heads down miss out, despite their hard work.

 

This workshop will focus on how to increase your visibility at work, without bragging or stealing the spotlight from your colleagues.
