become a manager

I want to be a manager, within my specialty of course. I have been working for almost 5 years (with more than six years total experience). This year i should have a manager level something position in company.

My current position is senior staff with scope as manager level. The position is unclear, since my boss did not want a manager level in this division, a lot of political intervention there. Really hate this situation, want to leave this company as soon as possible.

I am expecting 15K/M this year, my current is 12K/M and if i stayed in this company for a year, maybe i got nothing but only light experience in this industry, not the best one. And maybe next year i only get around 13K/M (increase about 8,3% COLA, cost of living adjustment, not sure however)

So what i am going to do:
1. Back to basic, send more resume, to my collegue, my linkedin network friend

2. Read more vacancy opportunities

3. Pray more and hope for the best

but idk how to get there
i was thinking in retail sector
any tips?
how long?
what do i do?
much apreshiated

Want to get a job in middle level management.

Today. I think it went fairly well, i guess we’ll just have to see if they find someone better. They liked me, though. : )

I have an interview Friday!!

I have been a Co-ordinating Secretary for the past five years. I think the next step for me is a management position. I like to lead people, teach them, and motivate them to do better. I want to do it myself.

So my thing is cancer, more specifically “Relay for Life” It’s a fund raiser for cancer research and a celebration of life. (For information go to relayforlife.org/relay)

Anyway, I decided I wanted to start a company team so I started talking to people and getting organized. One of the people from upper management took an interest and just started helping me get organized and make it big. It’s going well and I’m totally stoked for it.

That was the intended consequence to getting this going. Unintended consequence: I talk to all the managers, they ask me how it’s going and I’m proving I can lead and organize. I really didn’t mean for this to happen, I just wanted to push my cause. BUT I’ll take it! Yeah, a good way to get in good with the managers. : )

I work at Hy-Vee, I’ve worked there for four years and recently (3 weeks ago) changed departments from the Kitchen to Grocery. I’m doing really well and working really hard. I’m impressing the assistant managers and the managers. Everyone knows I’m working to become an assistant manager and they kind of have me on an unofficial ‘track’.

I wish I were further along at this point, but I had an extreme change of plans.

Anyway, I’ve set a goal. I want to be an assistant manager by August. That means I have 5 months to build my resume and become the best employee ever ; )

I’m getting on top of my store so it’s starting to level out. I’m a Starbucks manager, and I love it.

So, a couple of months ago I was going to be my store managers assistant. I pretty much did his job, and mine. But, they were actually going to give me a different office and less of my own work to do so that i could really focus on helping him out. Well guess what? He gets FIRED and I get left in the freakin dust!!! That was supposed to be my foot in the door so that the reginal manager could see what I really had. Now that he is gone they had to get someone who had more experience.

man I really wanted it!!! If only this had come a few months later ;/

Oh-Well…The reginal knows thats what I am capable eventually, he just couldnt do it at this exact time.

So my goal is to be in management by the end of this year…whether at the location I am in now or another one…I would even like to be assistant manager.
