Update on the job interview ~*~*Mayuka*~*~

So, just a refresher, I'm a candidate for a management position for the restaurant chain I work for. Everything went well. I passed the interview, BUT, there aren't any openings right now. :-/ Well, everything happens for a reason. The only thing my area director thought I need to work on is my leadership skills (commanding attention, asserting my authority, etc). Something that also comes with time and experience.

SO, my wonderful management team is really supportive and will be giving me more responsiblities via projects, etc to develop my leadership skills. I'll even be going to other stores as manager assistant since I won't know anyone there and maybe be able to assert myself more. Yeah, I think I'm too personally involved/have friends at work that I'm worried about upsetting a few of them. But, this restaurant is my livelihood and my real friends should be able to separate work from our friendship and not take things personally. Same goes for myself. I'm putting work before anything else now because I really got to prove to my managers that I'm ready to be a manager.

It does put a lot of pressure on me, but I know I can do this! I'm on the right path, I just hope they don't "forget" about me as a candidate because, who really knows how long til a position opens up. I mean, my general manager thinks it won't be too long because he says managers "quit" all the time.

So, we'll see what happens! I'll keep you all posted. Thank you so much for your support.
