Getting Promoted

Writing in Entrepreneur, Andrew Benett on five ways to miss the promotion boat.

Organizations should regard job recruitment as talent assessment; i.e. an opportunity to evaluate the available talent. 

Ideally - and I can already hear lawyers groaning - that should involve telling candidates how well they presented themselves during the interview and what they could do to be more competitive in the future. I base that suggestion on having seen people make mistake after mistake in seeking promotions and yet the employer's oral boards repeatedly failed to level with the individual, choosing instead just to say, "Another candidate was selected."

The Golden Rule should guide those instances.
