Im watching these crazy videos people in Houston trying to drive through SERIOUSLY flooded highways/streets and its insane lol.

beekay414 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Applied to the job I most want in my company but I don't have the long term background for it. However, I trained with them when I first started and they pull me in to help them when they are swamped. So, I'm good enough to do it for a month or two at a time but not good enough to be given the job? Everyone that works in that "department" (for lack of a better word) wants me with them but the people in corporate are adamant about having the proper background or certifications. It's like, I've learned all this through the job and everyone that does it directly has faith in me to do it (the boss of the department has been pushing them to hire me for the spot for the last 8 months) so I'm hoping a formal application and potential interview for it can help aide them in seeing it. Not a huge pay bump (a few $$ more an hour) but it's the most interesting job in the company, I'd get to build things and get to work directly with a great team. I was pushed today by 3 people within the department to apply for it because only one other internal applicant has put in for it so far. My odds, without certs or a degree, are probably as good as they'll ever get. *Fingers crossed* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is basically where I'm at. My line manager is leaving, I'm taking her responsibilities and we're hiring an assistant for me. But because I lack the final qualifications (I've sacrificed studying to instead work my arse off) my boss won't give me her title and my salary will be no more than 2/3rds of hers.

I don't drink coffee either. BC and Excedrin are also my go to's. Soda every few weeks maybe for some caffeine but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
