How actively are you building and maintaining your professional network in Canada?

I rarely attend industry events and mostly keep to myself at work. I occasionally attend events or connect on LinkedIn, but it's not consistent. I regularly attend industry events and have monthly coffee meetings with peers. I actively nurture relationships, have multiple mentors, and am known in my industry.

How intentional are you about developing in-demand skills for your role?

I haven't identified which skills employers are seeking in my field. I've researched skills but haven't started formal learning yet. I'm currently taking courses or certifications aligned with my career goals. I have a documented learning plan and regularly upskill in high-demand areas.

How visible are your achievements and contributions to your manager and leadership?

I don't track or communicate my accomplishments—I assume my work speaks for itself. I mention achievements during performance reviews, but don't actively promote them. I maintain a wins file and reference achievements in team meetings and one-on-ones. I consistently document quantified results and strategically communicate value across channels.

How prepared are you to have a promotion conversation with your manager?

I haven't thought about asking for a promotion or what it would take. I want a promotion but haven't prepared specific examples or a clear pitch. I've documented achievements and know what role I'm targeting. I have a detailed pitch ready, know market rates, and have scheduled the conversation.
