I just recieved a phone call from the district manager. She said that my interview went really well and I did a great job. Out of the 9 people that interviewed it was between me and one other person. She said that she ended up going with the other person because they had experience in an area that I didn't and it's something that is necesarry for the location that had the opening. I'm a little upset especially because I know that I learn quickly.

However there is some good news. They are going to start my background check because they have two positions that will be opening up soon. I am in what is considered the "ready" position so as soon as a spot opens up I will be promoted. She said that at the latest I should be promoted by May. They do want to transfer me to another store in the meantime so that I can get the experience that I was lacking.

While I am upset that I didn't get promoted right now, I have to look at the bright side. I really didn't like the store in which the position was avaliable. However the two spots that are opening up are both at stores that I would love to work at. So it might be worth the extra couple of months to be at a store where I will be happier.
