Question

what would you do if you were offered a promotion that you were not certain about accepting? What factors would you take into account when making your desicion?​

Answer 1

Most likely the amount of hours compared to the pay.

Would the new responsibilities, added hours, and/or the extra stress be worth the money and perks that came with said position?

For example, if I'm starting an 9-3 job as a secretary and I get offered a position to be a 9-5 salesperson, are the extra hours being matched by pay, benefits, or more flexibility in scheduling/vacation time/job perks?

And if you had a family you may take the financial and home-life factors into play. Ex: Do my kids need to get to school? Will a spouse be working at this time too? Or will I have a pet who can't be left alone for this long?

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

I would most likely accept the promotion.

Several factors would influence my decision.

- The new scope of responsibilities

This will include all the additional risks and tasks that I will get by accepting the promotion. Taking new responsibilities might sound scary, and many people will be discouraged by this. But at some point, all great leaders are someone without any experience too. As long as we are open to criticism, we will adapt to our new responsibilities.

- the new pay raise

Economic gain usually comes with promotion. It will motivate me to do more for the company.

- The likelihood of me getting another promotion chance

Chances like this do not come often in our life. The fact that I'm offered a promotion means that the higher up has reviewed my previous work result and determine that I'm the best option for them. I would not let this chance go to waste.
