Hey ladies! Hopefully everyone is doing well!
So, I wanted to know about how to get promoted. I am so frustrated at this point.
This has been going on 1.5 years, for the same promotion.
Promotion 1: I was not given a interview because I was too new, but they hired on someone who was currently working at blockbuster (non-management)
1 year later
Promotion 2: I was given an interview, told that I basically had it in the bag and then did not get the position. I asked what I could do in the future to make myself a better candidate. They said nothing, that my schedule didn't fit. The guy they hired was a position below mine and he is only available 3 hours a week.
I learned more to make myself competitive. I improved to become a top cashier and learned the service desk and the department that would be a promotion. I got my license for heavy machinery consistently used in the department.
Then, three part time positions opened up. I jumped on it, telling the coordinator, the assistant manager, and the supervisor that i was interested. I got everything together and waited. I mentioned it regularly to management and watched as management approached other associates and asked if they were interested. Watched as they got interviews. Then tonight, i inquired about my own interview and was told that interviews were over.
Idk what i could have done differently!
what do I need to do to make myself competitive? They have offered me placement in positions on the same level, but I have always made it clear that up was my interest. This is by no means a permanent job, but I is just frustrating that I can't move up!
