getting there

Feb 07, 2007 23:22

So I finally got promoted yesterday! I'm now an assistant manager....no specific assistant manager (like visual or people), though our new store manager said that he wants me to be in charge of the betty's side of the store when it comes to the visual presentation (did I mention that 80% of our business comes from the sale of women's clothing?

Really??? When does your lease end??

the lease is up may 31st.

but even though matt and i are talking annapolis now, i could end up somewhere completely different. i'm flexible with wherever i may move to, i just told him that i'd need enough notice so that i could find a decent apartment.

Did you graduate? Sorry been outa the loop for a bit. What was your focus? Marketing? (I know Ive asked you this before but I cant remember b/c I suck at life :)) Ive been working at my company for 2 years now and they just hired someone to be my project manager.. so there is no room for me to move up anytime soon. This sucks Sooo I decided to start my own company (something Ive been working towards for a while now) and we are about ready to register with PA and get official. So yay for that. Just trying to stay in touch, never know when it could be useful. Anyways hit me up we can talk some shop, Id love to hear about your position and what all it entails (you know fellow busn grad and all). G'luck.

haha, yes, i graduated a little over a month ago! and yes, my concentration was marketing. to bring you up to speed, in july hollister tried to hire me as a manager-in-training (MIT) but because i was a full semester away from graduating, they weren't allowed to do that. so from august to november, i worked as a part-time sales associate (model...we like to give special names to these sorts of things) and waited patiently to become an MIT. the MIT training period lasts for a maximum of 90 days, but i went 91 days because my district manager was on vacation and also i think was waiting for just the right time. now, i'm a full-fledged manager, but instead of being responsible for hiring or visual tasks or shipment tasks, i do a little bit of everything. for instance, if the people manager isn't there on a day when the interviews need to be done, i'll do them. it's not a bad thing, it's just funny when the kids ask me "which manager are you?" and i can't be specific. starting monday we're going to have a store manager, four ( ... )
