Promotion

Well, as of June 19th 2006 my new job title is...Member Relationship Representative. This is the promotion I was waiting for since last December. I didn't want to talk about it too much so I wouldn't jinx it. I have been training and learning the responsibilities of this particular position since February and patience, as always with me, paid off. I was really nervous in the interview and just for the record I am a terrible person to interview. When I am assisting members and helping co-workers I can do the job and do it well. Once you put me in a room with two people asking me questions that could have an impact on my future I clam up. I pictured the interview like this...my manager, new director and I are sitting in an office drinking martinis and I am talking as casual and confident as I could be, when suddenly their is a knock on the door and before my manager could say "Come on in" our VP opens the door and I am at the tail end of a joke, "So, I said, my cat did it!" and we all burst out laughing and are in tears. However, it went nothing like that. I got real shy and timid. I took my time answering questions but too carefull and ending my answers with, "Was that what you were looking for?" How dumb was that, you are supposed to show confidence and that you can handle anything that is thrown at you. Like I said before I can show you that I can handle 99% of situations at work without supervision but I interview like a deer in the headlights. Aside from that I am very happy with the way things are going at work, I am very busy, still learning new things everyday and the best part is that my days just fly by so I am certainly not bored. Promoted and loving it!
