If for the next season, which brings you closer to the corner office, the most difficult and selected (let's be honest) a bigger salary, responsibility, you are not alone.

But what happens when the smartest move at this time to actually be part of it? Do this movement rise to greatness not delay, I leave stuck in a rut or find in your resume attached? On the contrary.

. 1 You will move through the corporate network, if you have mastered your job long ago, the writing is on the wall: It is time to move onward and upward. Where will you be in your next role and after that? How do you get?

In many cases, it goes forward and does not necessarily mean top that you move literally. A new challenge may be waiting just around the corner. It is a network of career most of the time and not necessarily a level par excellence. Sometimes the best way to better position themselves is to take a train, then you can from there.

2 This is a strategy of shifting. Whether you're looking to relocate to a lateral movement the way to go. Looking for a different position at the same level, you can get from point A to point B without going to navigate through the added stress of a new job, the boss and the employer. In fact, the stability and familiarity may help the transition to a new location.

If you are looking to physically from one place to another, especially to their own financial costs, a career is not necessarily the priority at this time. And that's pretty good.

3 you will gain new skills and perspectives. Say in human resources working as a manager, but there is an opening in Operations Management. They had informal talks with the director of the team in the group, and it sounds quite attractive. How to feel the company, but start a little too comfortable in their current role, but is not yet ready to look outside. Translation: You are boring. The next level of HR was occupied by a Director for the last 10 years and is going nowhere. What ever the reasons for the current situation, this new position begins to look fascinating, right?

Maybe you need a change, or you would not think of exploring a new role anyway. Operations, you can access to executives in the areas of organization, which currently has no access. Maybe you'll manage external suppliers and often negotiate - a skill that does not usually need to use. And maybe free with position, so it can by a rapid increase after proving to be recognized in this new role.

4 This is the closest to a worst possible situation. Boss time? To check. Horrible drive? , Colleagues Eager disrespectful? To check and make sure. If your current situation is so terrible that you would do anything to spend, take a deep breath.

Internal displacement is not an act of desperation, but if all else fails - as in, can you had your last shot and deeply rooted in external research is time consuming and not tangible results - it will at least provide a fresh start with anchor entrenched familiarity.

If you are well versed in the corporate culture and meet the initials inside and outside, perhaps a new position has a generous Tele strategy paper is based. Maybe the boss is less than a micro-manager. There may be a variety of reasons to make the trip. And while usually it recommended on a new role in the efforts to move for them - not as a deviation or go to the nearest exit - exceptions. This is one of them.

5 The new role would you still hungry. Did you ever read a job description and a spark finally revived in you? It's that certain je ne sais quoi, that sounds exciting, new and different.

Make the move within the best way to go. If it out, might have sold to a recruiter more to stretch their capabilities, to show how to apply. Now, on the inside and has the experience and performance evaluations for easy access. If the position sounds interesting, go for it!

If you learn and new skills in a role that makes you happy, what that's not all, at all? According to a Gallup poll, 70 percent of Americans are clear about their work. Why deliberately choose not want to be among the 30 percent?

Search and achieve job satisfaction, while bending your valuable skills should be the goal every day. If an internal position sounds interesting and can add value to your arsenal (and of course, CV), there is certainly nothing wrong with that. And technically it is to assess your career after all, who you are?
