At my corporation, promotions are only available at the time of annual evaluations. I was more proficient when they hired me than they expected and they realized that and had commented on it more than once. My job description didn't include everything I was really doing. So, on my second annual evaluation, I put as one of my goals "To obtain a job title that more accurately reflects my actual duties". At the next year's evaluation, I got the promotion. They had to hunt through existing job descriptions to determine which title fit me best and it was a pretty big promotion. I haven't decided how to request the next one yet (should be next year, they really don't promote more often than every 3 years). Annual evaluations are coming up next month so I think I will address it in my career goals portion that I have to complete.
Then again, they live in terror that I'll leave so they try to keep me happy. Making yourself indispensable is a good thing. In fact, they made sure my last promotion was processed right before a medical leave so I'd get more money while on leave. They're good people.
