Build your case for a promotion

This prompt builds a promotion case. You give your current and target level, what the next level expects and your evidence, and it produces a one-page document showing how your work meets that bar.

What you will get

A one-page document showing how you already work at the next level, covering scope, impact, leadership and the gaps you are closing, plus five questions to ask your manager about what they need to see.

Common mistake

Evidence is a list of tasks, not results.

Fix: Write each project with the outcome, such as time saved, money earned or a risk avoided. Ask the AI to “turn each into an impact statement”.

Also watch for

You do not know what the next level really expects. Paste your company’s level guide if you have one, or ask your manager first. Do not rely on a generic description.
The gaps are hidden. Name one or two honestly, with the steps you are taking. It builds trust and shows you understand the role.

Try a variation: talk track

Ask for “a five-minute talk track for the promotion conversation, with my opening, three examples and a closing request”.

Still not right? Reply with this

Rewrite the one-pager for my manager to read in two minutes, with three strongest results at the top and one clear request.
