Hello,
Could you please help me to make out a few words in this story?

Here is what I have:
Why You’re Not Getting A Promotion
Leila’s House of Correction
Why is it that some people get promoted while others, maybe you, sit on a sideline and watch as bigger titles, more money and increased visibility will pass out.
Let’s talk about that. Here’s (Is it OK to say here’s when the subject is in plural?) three reasons why some people move up, and others stay put.
First. You may be working harder when you need to be working smarter. I’ll make this first point short and sweet.
Burning the midnight oil fails to impress anyone. Most everyone is working hard and putting in long hours, including your manager. She is not able to keep track of how much effort you are putting in, and she probably doesn’t want to.
What she does want is an employee with innoovation, cost-cutting and highly productive ideas. Work smarter for her and she’ll reward you.
Second. Are you concentrating on what you’re doing instead of how you’re doing it? When you begin your career, visible demonstration of your talent is crucial. It’s important to exemplify the core, hard skills you’re hired for whether it’s graphic design, project management or programming.
Getting to the next level, though, requires considering the behaviours you use. It is now more about developing the soft skills.
So, if you’re already exceeding metrics set by your manager, as a sales quota, you now need to highlight you’re accomplishing this through collaboration and strategic thinking. These indicate your increased level of ability, readiness and leadership.
Third. Are you even asking for a promotion? Are you expecting your desires to move to outer organization? (I’m not sure about this sentence at all.)
Way too many employees assume that promotions are being handed down ‘cause it is being asked for. Don’t assume your manager is working hard to get you promoted because she is not. She is working hard for her own promotions and for the general wellbeing of her entire team.
It’s not that she doesn’t like you or value your work. It’s simply an issue of time and priorities.
So be clear and straightforward about what you want and how that will help the organization.
Now, asking for promotion is one thing. Demonstrating how operating at a director’s level versus a manager’s level (Is this part correct?) and how this will benefit the entire team in a company is another thing.
Explain how elevating your role will positively impact your contribution.
Now, get to it.
Thank you in advance.
