So you got passed over for that promotion.., now what? Your first reaction will probably be anger. - You’ll think about updating your resume and, if you’ve read my article, “Never have to Search for a Job Again!“, you’ll send out a correspondence to your growing list of recruiters telling them of a new availability you may soon have and what types of opportunity that you’re looking for.
Now I know there are lots of articles out there giving advice on what to do in this situation. The problem is they all say the same thing. “Don’t get angry”, “talk to your boss”, “think about if this is really the job you want”, blah blah blah. All the advice you’re getting is reactive and points towards you leaving with your tail tucked between your legs trying to salvage what dignity you have left.
Well.., why not take a deep breath and lets talk about something better?
