We have all been there, in training, listening to supervisors' success stories and how this job can be a stepping stone to something bigger and better... ”psh yeah, right” I thought. Once I got out of OJT I moved on to the night, my supervisor took me into an office to tell me that if I keep doing what I'm doing I'll be a mentor. I waited and waited and I didn't hear anything anymore and I left everything like that. I stopped by in the morning and a supervisor immediately promoted me to mentor; at this point I didn't think anything else could come of it. A few weeks later I was a Team Lead, once again nothing more would come of it, because I have never lived a hard life and that's all I knew, there is no happy ending here for me. One day I came into work and was told I was going for the Sr. Team Lead position and there were no ifs and buts about it. I've completed my resume and cover letter, but what for? Who am I to think I can be a Sr. Team Lead? I'm not quite sure, heck, I don't know what I'm doing. Oh well, I went through my resume and cover letter just to entertain the thought. On the day of the interview I was excited, I "knew" I wasn't going to get the position, but I secretly wanted it, but again it's not something I'm suited for, nor will I get it, so why am I excited? I felt like my interview went well, but then again, I'm just out of high school, I'm not smart enough, I probably bombed the interview, and I'm just like that
