My Career

This page shows your own career progression within the company: which level you currently hold, which levels you have held in the past, and which level comes next on your career path. The page is view-only — changes to your career level are made by your manager or HR, not by you.

Rebuilt excerpt of the view: /hr/self-service/career

What can I do here?

  • View your current level and the career track it belongs to
  • See your entire career path as an overview of all levels, with your current level and the next target marked
  • View your level history of past levels together with the period each one covered

Step by step

  1. Open My Career from the menu under HR → Self-Service.
  2. The Current level section immediately shows your current level, its Track, and since when it has been assigned to you.
  3. Below that, the Career path section shows all levels of your track in their intended order: your current level is highlighted, and the next reachable level carries the Next target marker.
  4. At the bottom you'll find the Level history — a table of every earlier level you have held, with its period.

There are no input fields or edit buttons on this page — everything shown is read-only.

FAQ

Why don't I see a level on this page?
This means no career level has been assigned to you yet. Contact your manager or HR if you were expecting a level assignment.

Can I request a promotion or level change here?
No, this page is view-only. Assigning a new level is done exclusively by your manager or HR.

What does the "Next target" marker on the career path mean?
It marks the level that sits directly above your current level on the same track — the logical next step should a promotion happen. It is not a promise or a request, just orientation.

Why does the "Ended" column in my history always show a dash?
An end date for past levels isn't stored separately in the system. When a level ended is implied by the start date of the next level in your history.

Why does the track shown in a history row differ from my current track?
This can happen if you switched career tracks at some point, for example moving from an individual-contributor track to a management track.
