It explains how to write a promotion PPT and provides a free template download at the end.

Preparation before the presentation

Top1: Understand the competency model

Many candidates overlook the importance of aligning their PPT with the company's level‑based competency model. For example, a candidate aiming for T2.3 wrote future goals that only met T2.3 requirements, which would not convince reviewers.

The competency model defines the abilities required for each level; understanding it helps highlight strengths and plan for the next level.

The author shares their company's front‑end competency model as a reference.

Top2: Know the reviewers' focus

Different reviewers care about different aspects. For front‑end promotions, typical reviewers include senior experts, architects, front‑end team leads, technical leads, and HR, each emphasizing technical depth, scalability, management, business impact, or soft skills respectively.

Aligning PPT content with these focus areas increases the chance of success.

How to write the PPT

Generally, the PPT consists of four sections:

Work Overview – quickly convey responsibilities.

Key Projects – deep dive into at least two projects that showcase technical ability and business value.

Personal Growth – discuss technical, business, and soft‑skill development.

Future Planning – outline plans for the next 6‑12 months based on team and business direction.

For a 15‑minute presentation, allocate 2 minutes to work overview, 9 minutes to key projects, 2 minutes to growth, and 2 minutes to planning.

The author embeds the STAR method and chart usage tips into the template.
