1 Know Value

Understanding your worth is the first crucial step in advocating for yourself. Reflect on your contributions to projects, especially those that have improved system efficiency or user experience. Be prepared to discuss specific instances where your skills in operating systems have been invaluable. This could include troubleshooting critical issues , optimizing system performance , or implementing new features that have led to better outcomes. By recognizing your achievements and how they align with your company's goals, you can confidently present a case for your career growth.

I would rather not present my contribution if any (I'm not in the point of knowing that), and present a case for my career growth. My value isn't in my career growth. Rather, I knew everyone had value. And deserves a good treatment, you either mentor them and guide them. Until they see their worth and value as well. I don't know if there's anything I was able to achieve. I don't like career, I just wanna pass by life with a story, not to be overburdened with making a career or whatever it's called. :(

2 Set Goals

Before initiating a conversation with your boss, clearly define your career goals. Are you aiming for a promotion, seeking more challenging projects, or wanting to specialize further in a particular operating system? Having clear objectives will help you articulate what you need from your boss to succeed. It also shows that you are proactive about your professional development and willing to take ownership of your career path. Remember, setting goals is not just about upward mobility; it's also about expanding your skill set within the realm of operating systems.

In Ops, I feel it's a restricted place to be so I rather not ?? step in that place for men (just my thoughts). There are people who fit in there, and I'm not one of them. In this age of information, it's just important to focus on the essential, so I can master that one, and with the new information and skill set, it should add up to what I can do, not dissolve, mixed up my ability to perform and carry the task. I don't like expansion, it would not be too soon. I need solid, focused and grounded ability to do help and partake in their troubleshooting. I would like to be a supporting staff not the main actor/character. Thanks!

3 Prepare Case

When preparing to advocate for yourself, gather evidence of your accomplishments and potential. Create a comprehensive list of your contributions that have positively impacted the operating system environment, such as reducing downtime or enhancing security measures . If you've taken on additional responsibilities or gone above and beyond in your role, highlight these instances. This preparation will not only bolster your confidence but also provide tangible proof of your dedication and capability to take on more advanced roles or complex tasks.

I understand the errors, and how wired it could get. My brain is aching thinking of solutions both have roadblocks either I turn to the left or right. If I have to list on my contribution, I wouldn't take credit or glorify myself at that, it's maybe a happenstance, or another perspective that has provided clarity and option to troubleshooting. Whatever it's called, it's a tough thing to do and I'm not taking on more advanced roles or complex tasks. Although I'm an Advocate in my personality test, but not for myself. If there's a guide and a step where I can associate that as a former knowledge then I could potentially refer that in any complex troubleshooting. Im not in the position to appraise my self and contribution, if there's any.

4 Timing Matters

Choosing the right time to discuss your career is as important as the discussion itself. Look for opportunities when your boss is most receptive—perhaps after the successful deployment of a new operating system or completion of a major update. Avoid busy periods where the focus is on meeting critical deadlines. An ideal time may be during performance reviews when discussions about career progression are expected. Timing your conversation well can make a significant difference in the outcome.

5 Communicate Well

Effective communication is key to successful self-advocacy. Approach the conversation with clarity and confidence, but also with an understanding of your boss's perspective. Use language that emphasizes collaboration and mutual benefit. For example, explain how your growth in operating system expertise can contribute to the team's success and the company's technological edge. Listen actively to any feedback or concerns your boss may have, and be prepared to negotiate or offer solutions.

I haven't done this for myself or career. I don't want negotiations as well. I'm more concern correcting the bad, than focusing on the good. The bad toxins can spoil the whole operations, and just to avoid that from happening is a way to go.

6 Follow Up

After your initial conversation, it's important to follow up. If you and your boss have agreed on specific steps for your career advancement, check in periodically to update them on your progress and to demonstrate your commitment. If the outcome wasn't what you hoped for, seek feedback on what you can improve upon and establish a timeline for revisiting the conversation. Persistent yet respectful follow-up shows that you are serious about your career and willing to work for it.

Perennialist approach over modern one. When systems faulty, we trace back the old and tested! That's there is always a work around!
