Best of luck to you Laura. I am sure you will do great.

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.

This is it! This is what it's all about, good for you! I love that you see a bright side. And, not just a "well, it's better than nothing" bright side...this is a PERFECT bright side! It sounds like it's meant to be...May will be here before you know it! Sounds to me like you got the better end of the deal, anyway! Soo...I say congratulations!

Think of it like this, you have a few more months before true personnel headaches start!

It isn't IF, it is WHEN. Hang in there.

So in this interview they got to see how ready you are for a promotion - which might turn out of be a dream! AND they will even help you get the experience that you happened to lack in.

Sounds like a pretty good employer to me! Way to go!

I just got off the phone with Alexa and I'm feeling much better now. I'm still a little dissapointed, I just need to remember that in the long run this is going to be much better for me. Plus the hard part is over, I don't have to interview again and all my paperwork will be in order for when the position opens up. Now I just have to wait.

I'm glad you will be able to get that promotion sometime soon!!! Sounds like you deserve it, and it's nice that management recognizes that, too.

Well done, Laura! I think you'll be happier to get the position in the store where you want to be in the long run.

Congratulations - the worst part is over!

I think that's great that they would take the time to let you know
that you will be going to the fast track for promotion. You must have
made a great impression. Glad it will be at the store you've really wanted.

Well, it is okay to be a little disappointed to hear that you aren't getting the promotion immediately. But a little chocolate and ice cream will help to make that go away. And then you can enjoy your next few months before the real headaches start. Just kidding I am sure you are going to fit smoothly into the management position, and I have a feeling this is actually going to work out much better for you.

Really, this sounds absolutely ideal! You have impressed them enough that you don't have to interview again, the promotion will be to a store you like, and it is only a few months away! I know that when you go after something, it is nice to get it, and get it now - but it really isn't very far away.

Well done!
