Get Promoted...

Having spent a long time on work without a promotion sometimes make several people being frustated. They often ask "why i don't get a promotion, meanwhile the other people that can be classified as newbie get this one?".

There are some reasons why some people stuck when dealing with this thing.
1. Seniority vs Contribution
Many people think that seniority will guarantee their career increases. In fact now almost companies doing their business based on performance so the company need persons that can give contribution and performance beyond expectation. The company will no longer consider the seniority as appraisal based.

2. Skills vs attitude
Divided into hard and soft skills, sometimes we think that we are fullfill the requirement for promotion only from hard skills (technical). we don't realize that there is one important that will be considered when someone want to be promoted. The one is attitude. No matter how smart is someone, when he had bad attitude it's almost impossible for him to be considered to get a promotion.

3. Chance
This is the most important thing but i just know it. Sometime we think that a promotion is based on our self. But how it can be, when there is no chance in our company? That's mean there is no empty position?

4. Need
Sometime we didn't have a chance for promotion for a while because of our manager or department still need us. That's also mean that they haven't meet a suitable person to replace our position or they still need us to do some project or work. But believe it, if you in this criteria you don't need to worry about your future

So if you now is still thinking about your career, you can consider some factors that i have explained before you make a decision about your work/career.

CDP (Competency Development Program)

This several day is long holiday. I have a plan to finish my CDP presentation material coz for the next week i have to ready for the review. CDP is one of development program on Sampoerna that give the trainee more experience and development, not only on the technical skills but also on soft skills. This program is a comprehensive development program that challenge the trainee to explore the material of the program deeply and also a chance to show to the manager their ability inlude communication skill, analyzing and problem solving. The program itself set into some level and to get higher level the trainee have to pass the lower level. CDP have some different approach, that can be described as follows:
  1. In class training, to give a better understanding of the program material.
  2. Self learning, this is the most challenging part where you can do "anything" you want to learn about the program material. Sampoerna give the freedom to the trainee to learn coz every person have different learning style, right?
  3. The review, this is the exam for the trainee to present their learning result. The review include the written test, practical test, and management review.
And as i mentioned above, this several day i prepare my learning result for the review. For now, i have to prepare WE (work experience) 3, and it's about manufacturing planning and control (MPC) system. This week and probably this month is harder than usual coz in addition to the CDP, i also have to prepare for audit time (IR&IC audit and QA audit)....This is really2 "awesome"..work..work..work..i sell my life for work....coz my company always give me salary hehe...
