Build the case for your promotion
Organize your evidence into a persuasive promotion document and a script for the conversation with your manager.
Create a credible plan for your first three months that balances learning, relationships and early wins.
Create a 30-60-90 day plan for me. It will be used either for an interview or for my first three months on the job: {{use}}.
Role: {{role}} at a {{company}}
My manager or team context: {{team_context}}
Known priorities, problems or goals of the team: {{priorities}}
My relevant strengths: {{strengths}}
Structure the plan as:
- Days 1-30 (learn): people to meet, systems and data to understand, questions to ask, one small quick win.
- Days 31-60 (contribute): first owned project, how I will earn trust, how I will measure progress.
- Days 61-90 (lead): a larger initiative, process improvements, what I will report to my manager.
For each phase give goals, 4 to 6 concrete actions, and how success will be visible.
Also include:
- A list of 8 questions I should ask in my first two weeks.
- Risks in the first 90 days and how to handle them.
- A one-paragraph version I can say aloud in an interview in under 60 seconds.
Be realistic about what one person can do in 90 days. Do not promise results I cannot control. Where the plan depends on facts I did not provide, mark the assumption.Anchoring each phase to a visible success measure keeps the plan from being a wish list. The 60-second summary is meant for interviews, where hiring managers mainly want to see structure.
