[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 752599, member: 88961"] "I've no official managerial or supervisory experience despite doing it on a daily basis with the newer staff at my current work. I guess they just don't want to pay me for an official position." That your role profile may not stipulate supervision, if you do it every day, you have experience, non? You need to write a big list of things you do and think of it in this way. A true instance I will never forget is a friend of mine who is a Six Sigma consultant in a big global conglomerate. She was continually asking for more challenge, but her boss seemed to like her hemmed into a role she executed extremely well, but was no longer sufficiently challenging. At a performance review she told him she would be applying for new jobs, but he didn't believe her. Within a couple of months she had applied for the role of Head of Marketing in this outfit. When she told me this, my eyebrows raised and I mentioned that I hadn't realised she had a marketing background. Her response was that she could clearly do the "Head of" role, and marketing was just the subject matter; and she could learn that. Shutzpa? She didn't get that job, but she did get a lovely promotion shortly afterwards. Sometimes in life, you have to think outside the box and be bold. The saying "fortune favours the brave" is very true, in my view. [/QUOTE]
