I just finished my second week at the new job. Last night I was asked if I would be interested in applying for a promotion to a management position. I was really surprised as I have only been there two weeks.
My manager told me about an opening and said that he would really like it if I would apply for it. He said he'd recommend me for it to the hiring manager as I have a strong management background. I guess I'm doing something right.
I brought the promotion application home with me and willl fill it out to submit when I return to work on Tuesday. It will mean a nice bump in pay and a move to salaried instead of hourly plus some extra benefits and perks. It will aslo make it easier for me to afford a decent place to live here.
I have always "moved up the ladder" fairly quickly with any company I've worked for, but this is the first time I've been recommended for a promotion after only two weeks.
Life is definately looking up.
