I have some exciting news…after only being at my job for 7 weeks I was offered a promotion! Here’s what happened:
We are preparing for our national conference which is in Vegas next month and on Wednesday of last week (3/26) we had a mock registration (that is where people who have been to nationals before pretend to be “customers” and those of us who have never been try our best to “register” them for the conference).
The company flew in a lady who has been going to the national conference for the last 15 years…she along with our Meeting Planner was the ones in charge of the training session. Once they thought we were ready they called our CEO and he came up and pretended to be a person….lots of questions. If you didn’t know the answer you really had to BS your way through and then after the “scene” acted out they would tell you what you should have said.
Well, during the mock registration they kept saying I was doing a great job and I was good at that kind of thing…etc.
Thursday rolls around and my boss asked to speak with me. He took me into the conference room and said, “This is going to hurt me more than it hurts you.” I kept thinking…”oh no…he is going to fire me”. However, he ended up offering me a promotion! He said they all were very impressed with how I handled myself during the mock registration and thought I would be a good fit for the Meeting Planning Assistant.
He also said there is a chance that in 6 months or so I might be able to plan some events on my own….perhaps that means another promotion to Meeting Planner!!
I spent all weekend talking with Aaron, parents, and various people from church including our pastor…after much thought and prayer I decided to take the position! As soon as we can hire a replacement for me in my current position (Customer Service Assistant) then I will start my new job!
Needless to say things are going great here in AR! Now if only we can sell our house!! Please keep that in your prayers!
