I had someone ask me the other day how long I had been working at World Market. And I had to stop and think about it. I knew roughly how long it had been, but it was just a matter of remembering what year it was that I left Target and started this new job.
Here's the post from just over three years ago. It's bananas to sit back and realize it's been three years. I know in the grand scheme of things three years isn't a big deal, but the time has just flown by. In that time I've had three different job titles and have been promoted to a managerial position. The main reason I left Target was because there was no where to go. There was no upward movement, no matter how much they say they promote from within. They promote up one level or two, but that's about it. It seems like they go out to recent college graduates for their managerial positions. At least that was what I encountered. I mean, why would you promote someone with almost a decade's worth of work and experience when you can just hire someone right out of college?
I'm not bitter, seriously, because every time I go into a Target I am so thankful I found the job I have now. I will tell you, leaving the job I had for almost eight years was scary as hell. You don't know if it's going to go as well as you hope. You don't know if you made the right decision. You just don't know. Unless you do it. And having the support of your family makes it a little bit easier.
