F/U to Job Opportunity
No, I haven't heard anything. All applicants must apply by EOD Thursday.
When I talked to my manager, she gave me a mixed reaction of surprise (like she thought I'd never be motivated enough to try for it) and either amusement or pleasure. (Amusement because I'm not good enough for the job in her mind - completely possible for her because she role-casts people and only her "rockstar" is capable of reaching outside the box. Pleasure because she truly suspects she's going to have to lay off someone on my team and if I just transition off the team... problem solved.)
Anyway, ever since I sent her my application, I feel like all hell's broken loose. (Thankfully, everything that's come at us is beyond her control, so I know it's not just her testing me. LOL) While we've been DEAD for at least the last month (no joke: sometimes I'm stretching 6-8 hours of work for the entire week!), we've been slammed with orders/requests/problems.
It's like this is the universe's way of bringing everything in front of her because I feel like I'm completely "working it." Every email, every situation...it's all allowing me to send out communications highlighting my strengths. ("Negotiating" between us, offshore, or other departments, organization because I keep every email and can bring it back out 6-12 months later to resolve an issue quickly, etc.)
It's just funny... the "working it" feeling. LOL
Re: F/U to Job Opportunity
ditto!
LOL! This fits perfectly!
So glad you're able to highlight your strengths and hopefully your manager took your application seriously!
