Busting at the seams!!!
So, I found out something today at work that I'm literally not allowed to tell anyone about and it's making me crazy!! I can't even post about it on my myspace or facebook because I have friends from work on my friends lists. Since no one on my friends list here works with me, I'm letting it all out here. About 2 wks ago, a supervisor position opened up at my job. I'm a coordinator there, essentially lowest man on the totem pole. I do, however, have 15 yrs management experience and I happen to rock at my job (this is the ONLY aspect of my life where I have ample self esteem). Anyways, I decided to apply. My interview was on Friday of last week and went really well. Still, I wasn't getting my hopes up because there were team leads that applied as well as some staff members who've been there a long time (I've not even been there a yr). Today, my GM comes over to me and asks if he can meet with me at 3:45pm. This happened at around 11a. So, the majority of my afternoon was spent thinking "I wonder if I got the job or are they telling people that they went another route." I went to my meeting at 3:45p and was officially offered the job!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm now the Evening Supervisor at Connex International. I'm so freaking happy it's unreal. I'm not allowed to say anything to anyone from work until it's officially announced to the company later this week. This is INCREDIBLY trying. It never really sank in that I couldn't even post about it on myspace or facebook, so once I put that together I was like "Oh god, how the hell am I going to make it all week without saying something?!" Ahhhhh, thank you LJ for saving me and allowing me some release :)
Anyways, I'm thoroughly excited. This is literally a $12k increase in pay per year. I beat out people who are fully trained, have lots of experience and some that are already in team lead positions (the liason person between coordinators and supervisors). I feel really grateful that I was chosen given the competition I had. I'm also just beyond pleased with myself. I KNEW I was qualified for the position and nothing kept me from applying. During my interview, I was honest but also sure in my abilities and, well, it paid off!!! I am so freaking happy!!!!
