I really love my job. Granted, I have those moments of “UGH!” but who doesn’t? At any rate, I am very interested in moving up in this company. Specifically, I want to go in to training. I have always been good with people, and likewise I have always been good at teaching skills or concepts to others. I expressed this interest to some of the people in the training team, and they seemed responsive to me. Today I had a meeting with my supervisor about what I want to do with the company, and it’s looking like she will go to bat for me when the time comes. It all started when I asked her if I could take on any extra tasks. We then had a sitdown where I told her what I was looking for, and what I’d be willing to do to get there (which was anything, really). I gave some ideas of things I’d like to do (a company newsletter, for starters), and she pointed out that there may be an opportunity to help out with the intranet that is being developed. Just the thought makes me all giddy.
It’s not every employer that will let you know you’re doing a good job. Mine does constantly. Of course, I am doing a great job, but hearing it makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. I haven’t gotten the promotion yet, but I’m extremely confident that I will be moving on up here at some point, maybe pretty soon.
