Doesn't seem quite so long ago that I last posted, but clearly it has been. Several weeks in fact, oops! And to think that the intention was to be keeping regular posts/updates etc. Ah well, there have been reasons.
The reason itself is the now factual brilliant news that after years of trying, I have finally been promoted. Technically it is on a temporary six month basis, but the potential is certainly there for this to be extended or indeed made fully permanent.
The promotion itself? Means that rather than be taking calls and dealing with customers and thats all, means that instead I'll be assisting in running the show as it were, helping manage the team and develop and enhance the performance too. All good things and a good step career wise. Even if it doesn't for whatever reason work its way out to be extended or anything, the very fact that I will have had experience in being a Senior person will be massively beneficial in the future.
I am a hugely ambitious person and fundamentally it has been extremely frustrating at times over the years to not be kicking on as I have wanted to do. Now it seems patience and hard work is paying off.
It also means that in order to help to push further, I will now be studying hard over the next few months doing another CII qualification. Technically I have a 2 year window in which this needs to be completed (alongside of a couple of others, I've already done) but I'm not one to rest on their laurels, I intend to fully kick on and get things moving.
The way I see it, I currently have just got my foot in the door, now I need to kick the bugger open fully and will do everything possible in order to make it happen.
