Career Tips: Are you not getting promoted despite your hard work? Maybe you are making these 7 mistakes..

Everyone wants to progress in life. If you are a working professional, then you, too, must be wishing to get a promotion. But the question is, are you not getting promoted even after working hard day and night in the office? According to a Forbes report, sometimes even small mistakes can become a big obstacle in the path of your progress. Let us know what those 7 reasons are, due to which you are not able to move forward in your career.

1. Getting stuck in the comfort zone
If you get into the habit of constantly staying in the same comfortable position, then it can stop your development. To get a promotion, it is often necessary for you to go beyond your limits. According to the Forbes report, this shows the lack of struggle in you.

2. Becoming a tough replacement
If people are so skilled in their current role that no replacement is found for them, then the boss hesitates to give them a new responsibility. In this situation, you are not lazy, but seem “unbeatable”, but it can have the opposite effect.

3. Raise your voice
If you don't put yourself forward for a better role, then your excellent performance is meaningless. Forbes says, "It's not just about working hard, it's about showing it." This means that you have to take the initiative to get promoted.

4. Not learning new skills
If you want a promotion and a desire to get a new role, then learning new skills is a must. Not learning the skills required for a new role (such as technical or project management) is also a big obstacle. Candidates who do not have these skills will definitely find it difficult to move forward.

5. Lack of a personal development plan
If you do not have a plan for your development, then it can prove to be a failure in giving direction to your career. Growth does not happen automatically anywhere; rather you have to work hard for it separately.

6. Not being noticed
No matter how good you work, unless the top management is aware of your work, your promotion is not possible. So don't be invisible. Keep yourself present and active. Keep promoting your work.

7. Not being open to feedback
When you get feedback, whether it is positive or corrective, don't ignore it. Take it in stride, self-analyze and try to improve. This shows your commitment and ability to learn.
