The Wall Street Journal published an article earlier this month about how to get ahead in a time where promotions are hard to come by and new job openings are scarce.
When asked about making a lateral move, EA’s VP of Talent Acquisition, Cindy Nicola, was quoted as saying “you’re still learning and growing,” and “broad-based experience can ultimately position you to move up.”
So, if a move to a new company or a promotion just seem like dreams, consider taking advantage of opportunities to work in other departments or move to a new position internally to get some additional experience. Though this can move you outside of your comfort zone, this experience can be what give you a leg up on the competition.
