Accomplishments

I've been given an amazing opportunity at my work. First, I became the manager of the Quality Assurance department which a year ago, didn't exist. I was the QA deparment. With help from my boss we built an entire department and I had 6 direct reports and 10 indirect reports from our 6 other centers. With another raise I spoke with my boss and told her of my frustrations. I told her, in more professional terms, that I likened my job to repeating a grade over and over again. I wasn't learning, I wasn't growing.
So now with a year of Quality Assurance under my belt, I have now been promoted to Human Resources Generalist. I will be trained by an outside party and be hopefully taught enough to take and pass the PHR exam. And all of this I am getting paid for. It's like getting to go to school for free. I am so fortunate.
I've tried telling people things about this in the past, but I am a firm believer in the Secret. If you are positive, you bring positive things to you. Most people just laugh or brush it off, thinking I'm just a silly naive little girl, but seriously, within the last month, I have been "Secret-ing" an HR job. I wanted to learn the skill so badly. Anything to put on my resume for me to fall back on would be good, but HR is just...always needed.
So I've been imagining myself already in the department. And now I am the head of it.
