So I wrote a post back probably in the end of January, or perhaps early February about my boss leaving and how I applied for the job. I was summarily told I was not particularly qualified for the position and sent back to my office. Well, not exactly, but it was a very short conversation and the person in chage of hiring was very definate that he felt I was unqualified.
I spent about 24 hours wallowing in self pity and then moved on emotionally. My plan was to continue building my skill set, taking classes that my company will pay for and then take those skills to another company (I actually have a company that said they would take my resume) Meanwhile, no new manager was hired. Many were apparently interviewed but no one fit the bill. I took this as an opportunity to take on more tasks, learn more "managerial" tasks and reports, and to try to make things easier for the portfolio manager who was overseeing not only our site but at least 9 other properties.
On Friday she called me in to her office and said that she has been advocating on my behalf for the position. She said that she sees leadership potential in me and has been talking with folks at corporate. She has told them about the tasks I have taken on and the things I have learned and apparently. . . I am to be an interim property manager with the possibility of things being permanent if I continue to show my worth.
I am so excited!
