at work 2 months ago, i was called into a meeting with our associate dean, hr director and my supervisor! talk about freak out! i went in not knowing what was happening. was i being fired? god i hope not! but thank goodness it wasn't that at all. they had seen what a good job i had done in the two years i worked there, and wanted to offer me a promotion. they told me all that it would entail, and i told them i'd think it over and let them know in the morning! i was so excited that i came home and told andrew the news, and my mom, and my dad and everyone else in my family! the next morning, i took them up on their offer and accepted the position! it still had to be approved by the dean and the human resources department before it would go into effect, but everyone was hopeful that it would, so i was too.
after a week of the necessary people being out of the office, the job description and new salary had been approved. i was ready for business! august 1st is when it went into effect, but i did my trainings 2 weeks ago and officially took over my duties yesterday!
as of now, i'm the human resources/office manager for the school of public affairs! i took on a lot of new duties that i will learn very quickly. this will definitely be more challenging than what i was doing, so i welcome this change!
i still am unsure how this will tie into my future career goals (even though i feel i should already be in the future stage), but maybe it will help open my eyes to a new field that i could utilize in a future position i might hold. so stay tuned to where it takes me!
i love working where i do, so i was happy that i was able to stay with these wonderful people, for now anyways!
