“#Your next great job may be with your current employer<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

You can look for a job, or the job can find you. Moylagh Nargiso has experienced both.<\/p>\n

Her first role at the local Y<\/a> was as a summer camp counselor. Next, she worked in the nursery, in finance and, up until two years ago, at the front desk. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhenever I needed more hours, I asked. I was pretty much willing to do anything they needed me to do,\u201d said the 20-year-old Montclair, New Jersey, resident.<\/p>\n

That gave Nargiso exposure to many departments and people across the organization, which was at 400 employees pre-pandemic. Not only that but if anyone needed anything done, they knew Nargiso would step up to help. That included troubleshooting problems in any of the three female locker rooms and briefing facilities director Ken York on the matter.<\/p>\n

So, when a facilities technician role opened in York\u2019s department, rather than recruiting someone with experience from the outside, he offered the job to Nargiso. <\/p>\n

\u201cI explained to Moylagh that the role would entail electrical work, plumbing, painting, spackling, using power tools and such,\u201d he said, adding that it was a full-time position that would allow her to acquire a new set of skills that would differentiate her from the masses.<\/p>\n

Initially, Nargiso was flattered but wasn\u2019t sure she wanted the position. \u201cI thought it might be interesting and very different, but it wasn\u2019t something I had ever thought about,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Yet Nargiso was the one York wanted for the job. <\/p>\n

\u201cI saw her at the front desk answering phones, dealing with members and helping with whatever else was needed, all at the same time,\u201d he said. \u201cOnce, when I explained to her how to fix something in the women\u2019s locker room, she came out with it done.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Nargiso\u2019s change of direction might seem drastic, in the post-pandemic economy you might see others like it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pandemic has sped up job transformation. Your career path may not be a clear, straight line forward,\u201d said career expert and best-selling author Lindsey Pollak. Her forthcoming book<\/a> is titled \u201cRecalculating: Navigate Your Career Through the Changing World of Work\u201d (Harper Business) out March 23. \u201cGetting promoted or changing employers may not be the only way to grow,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

Heather Malone, human resources expert and head of talent acquisition and new hire experience at EPIC Insurance Brokers & Consultants<\/a>, agreed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you like the company you work for, there are ways to get a new job there without waiting to be promoted,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

In order to make that happ<\/a>en, going the extra mile and making yourself visible puts you on the right course, through building your internal network, volunteering to help co-workers outside of your area or sitting on committees and leading projects where you might be useful. By doing so, you become connected to \u201cadvocates, mentors and managers that may eventually have gaps on their teams that you could fill,\u201d said Malone. <\/p>\n

Since most companies encourage internal promotion, you should have an edge over external candidates.<\/p>\n

But before you speak up or even apply for an internal job posting, Pollak has this caveat: Consider the politics of your employer\u2019s organization. You wouldn\u2019t want your potential new boss chatting with your current manager to confirm that they\u2019re ready to let you move on, even before any interviews have been arranged.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like hearing from a third party that your spouse wants a divorce,\u201d Pollak said. \u201cYou don\u2019t want your boss blindsided.\u201d<\/p>\n

Go to human resources before taking action, said Pollak, and \u201cabsolutely proclaim your commitment to your current job. Say you like your role, your boss and your company. Only then ask to talk about your next move and how things work.\u201d<\/p>\n

This may not be necessary if you work for a company that is completely transparent and supportive of employees seeking new roles. Software maker SmartRecruiters<\/a>, whose clients include Equinox <\/a>and NBCUniversal<\/a>, offers an \u201cinner mobility\u201d solution that includes a job board specifically for company employees. It includes \u201csmart assistant,\u201d a data science<\/a> tool that maps employees\u2019 skills to open jobs or projects. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re working at a company that uses it, you could get a notice indicating that you match an open job or assignment somewhere else in the company and be invited to apply,\u201d said Jerome Ternynck, founder and CEO of SmartRecruiters. <\/p>\n

That makes sense when you consider that if York had written out a job post for Nargiso\u2019s job, it would have called for \u201ca female\u201d (so that she could easily access areas like the women\u2019s locker room, which York could not) \u201cwho could handle many things at once, had a positive attitude and found fixing things interesting.\u201d If Nargiso had come across it, she may have been curious enough to find out more.<\/p>\n

After all, things worked out well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love making a difference,\u201d said Nargiso, who has recently been involved in a great deal of carpentry to make the Montclair Y\u2019s gym and family center COVID-19 compliant, with a testing area in what was once the front lobby.<\/p>\n

\u201cI now have not just a job, but a career, doing something I never even knew I wanted to do.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
