One thing which is key, asking
How will any assignor know you want to move up if you don't ask. The worst they can do is say no, but if you don't ask, you'll never know.
Also, try to go a bit on factors beyond your control which may stop you from moving up, i.e. demanding job, or the big one, age.
I've been working kiddy-ball for the last 4 years, with the hopes of someday getting a high school game, I've learned the rules, gone to camps but the one thing that's keeping me from moving up is my age. If there are any younger officials try to let them know their time will come one day, but they might have to wait a little longer for it.
My grandmother has a saying,
"get in there like a dirty shirt" meaning market yourself. That's another key part to moving up, if no-one knows who you are then you won't get too far.
