Ok, as I may've mentioned before, ever since Stephanie (former manager) got canned, I've been keeping my eyes open for a way out of my current job. Well, hot damn, I might have found it. Pretty much every day that I work, I always check the board near human resources that has all the job openings for internal transfers. Lately it's all been the same stuff every time, never with anything that I am really interested in / qualified for.
First, a brief background of my current situation: I am a full time lifeguard / part time recreation dept. supervisor. I'm qualified to train new employees too. Right now, my chances of further promotion within my dept. are quite slim, because we already have two firmly rooted full time supervisors over me, as well as at least two other PT supervisors like me.
Anyway, today when I checked the job listings, there was something new! Royal Pacific Resort (RPR) is hiring a full time recreation supervisor (I work at Hard Rock Hotel (HRH) now). So I called the RPR rec. manager today (wasn't there cuz it's Sunday) and basically left a message telling him that I want the job (but worded differently). A plus is that I kind of know the guy already, so it would not be like he's never seen me before. I'm gonna call back tomorrow and hopefully set up something face to face with the guy, cuz I know that if I can just get an interview, the job is almost as good as mine. I've been thinking about it a lot, and I think that I am pretty qualified. I know that I will get good recommendations from my bosses now, and I am already well versed in all the computer software I need to know, cuz I use it all already. I am a certified "star trainer" and since all the training manuals are nearly identical (different property, but same company and same department), I would be able to start training new employees almost immediately.
I just really, really, hope that this hasn't already been filled or anything, because I firmly believe that this is the break I've been waiting for. Man, I'm so excited.... I just really hope that this works out. Maybe I'll write with some good news tomorrow...!
