I have been told by several people in different fields of employment, that I should be in management. I however, don't want the responsibility. I'm willing to step up when there is a need for that or assist my management or leads to see that things go as they should for a productive business outcome. I don't like to complain, because I have to be honest with myself. I'm a natural leader. I lead by example. I make sound and positive decisions, and I'm not afraid of working with my teammates. Naturally that can be intimidating to some of my supervisors. I have lost alot of good jobs due to that fact. My supervisors feel as though I'm trying to take their job, when in fact I'm trying to keep and do my job well. I have resorted to taking positions I'm over qualified for and doing just enough to get my daily tasks done so I don't show my abilities. When I had wanted to move up into a managerial position I was overlooked. Not for my lack of ability, but for my inability to fit the " image of what they wanted as leadership." Now mind you. I've always been a professional at work. I dress appropriately, speak respectfully and knowledgeablly, and am accountable, also punctual. I feel as though I have given my employers every reason to promote me. But now should I just settle and know my place? Steve in Indy.

I believe that when u have applied several times for that company and nothing then take it as a sign. I have been hired and working at a company like that. Two years of nothing but misery. A dead end job when people that do not believe in me and have told me to my face im nothing. Made my self esteem so low i wanted to die. Take the sign and things will work out. I have been getting interviews at awesome places where GM are telling me. I will bring alot to their companys.

I am just looking for a job that I can grow at and not be stuck on the same thing. the last couple of jobs that I have been employed at I have work for years and years and still to no avail no promotion or anything else to look forward to . most of the times the people that do get top positions are already qualified for the job and shoot straight to the top . not to mention, the people that they promote are usually trained by the average laborers like myself. I just want to get somewhere where I can grow and advance in the business and not just be a laborer, in other words I just need something to look forward to .

My favorite part about working at Comcast was that everyday I was able to network and meet someone new. I met at least 3 new people everyday just on the elevator. I also enjoyed meeting the founder before he passed away. No day was just like the day before when I was working there and it was a great opportunity to start building my brand.

Have anyone been working at a job for so long until you know it's time to leave for financial growth but you having mixed feelings because he's been at the job for so long but at the same time it's really not paying the bills like you absolutely wanted to and you feel like you may or may not be able to find another job due to your age if you leave so you feel like you're stuck

I would like to invent something (or probably many things) that help people in their daily lives. I am interested in advanced prosthetic devices, but throughout my time at the university I came to realize that there are many ways to improve life, from labor saving machines to systems that improve efficiency and many more. Even if my career doesn't directly involve engineering I still plan to use my experience and the wealth I earn to better humanity.

When I started working for patina Restaurant Group I started off as a overnight cleaner working the graveyard shift not knowing much about cooking but soon found myself to be a Sous Chef after hard work and much persistence. After 3 years of working for the company I got promoted twice and got a raise three times because I had ambition. Most people pay $30,000 to go to The Cordon Bleu to learn how to cook and be a chef I got this for free. So work hard and be persistence, we all have what it takes to accelerate but have to believe in ourselves to do so.
