• Not receiving a promotion that has been earned more often than not becomes positive motivation toward improvement and a better outcome next time.  Check around and you’ll see this is true.
• Never allow your self-worth to reside in the advancement an employer may give you at work or – just as important – one that is denied you.  They don’t get to do that.
• I keep a file in my email of any and every testimonial I may receive about my work or me as a person.  Reviewing these comments comes in handy at times when we feel not appreciated and need more confidence.  And use this confidence to explore other opportunities.
• Often the person who passed us over for a promotion eventually winds up losing their job.  The ability to retain and promote outstanding people is not buried in a job description but is a gift that the best managers have.
• When passed over for a promotion and considering that the employer was fair and sincere, ask what specific things you can do to win that promotion the next time.
• Don’t gripe to co-workers, sulk or take it out on your family.
• Being passed over for promotion isn’t the end of the world, it’s the beginning of your next promotion.
