Stepping Up

I'm currently a part-time recruiter at a company and believe me I love my job. I work with great people, a great company, and I'm learning a little something everyday. Its a job that I look forward to going into every single day.

The only problem is that I'm working only as a part-time employee and I would really love the opportunity to be converted to a full-time employee. I'll admit that when I first started my first 2 months or so I was not doing too well but after being critiqued I took it in went home and came back with a whole new perspective.

After that I've continued to improve and have continuously gotten amazing feedback from my supervisor and managers. Not only that but two weeks ago one of the managers sent the V.P of Human Resources (my supervisor) an email just pretty much appraising my performance and complimenting on my ability to fill the position. I was totally excited to see that my manager actually take that extra step to do that. I totally appreciate it :) and it really gives me that sense of accomplishment.

Not only that but my supervisor has asked me I believe on two occasions about how I'm liking it here and I think she was giving me that opening to ask or maybe even bring up the topic of converting to full time. Okay, I know I know how the hell did I end up at that conclusion. Hahaha, but one of my coworkers who also started off as the same position as me was asked that question and she brought up her concern about the position not being full time and pretty much long story short after like a period of time she got converted/promoted to full time. When I was asked, I didn't bring that up so I'm assuming it's one of those things that if you don't ask then I assume that you're okay with where you are at right now.

I have no idea if that makes any sense, but yeah. Hahaha


So tomorrow, I'm going to finally step up and bring up the topic to see if there is that opportunity to be converted to full time and what else is there that I can do to be considered . I'm like super nervous, I'm scared of rejection! Then again, it doesn't hurt to ask.


One of the things that I learned from my Counselor at college was not to be afraid to ask because what's the worst thing that they can say? Plain and simple, no. It's one of those opportunity costs kind of thing. If you ask and get rejected then fine, it didn't really hurt anybody. If you ask you have that one small chance of getting what you want and you can potentially gain so much more, just by asking.


Gosh, I am so scared!!! I've been thinking about it for the past few weeks, I even had a nightmare last night about it too!!



I will see how it goes though. *crosses fingers* Hopefully, it goes well.


Wish me luck!
