I am attempting to get a promotion for a top retailer in the US. My boss has been begging me for months to take the shift and I have refused simply because it is fully overnight. From what I have heard, you have to have managerial experience in order to be considered for the manager position for that shift but we are going on 3 months without anyone being hired. What can I say in interview that will highlight why I deserve a management position

Same company? And boss is asking you to take it? Just apply, worst they can do is say no and you’re still in the same situation. Use like a class project or sports team you played on. If it’s been that long, barrier probably isn’t that tough at this point

I mean it seems that the demand is there! I would just apply and explain your qualifications

Enumerate your strengths and your qualifications. And if your boss is begging you to take the shift, then do it.

Highlight your unique skills and strengths in that area. And probably explain a little as to why you should be in that position. Good luck!

I am starting a 4-months internship at a company B in January. However, I just heard from a company T that they will interview me for their full time position.

Company T is paying me way more (twice) than Company B. And I like company T more. However, they want me to start working in February if I get this position. If I end up getting the offer, I will have to quit my internship at Company B, almost immediately after I begin the internship.

Is this okay?

Hi fellow fishies,

I'm currently enrolled in the Master in Management program at INSEAD and am trying to find a position at the Middle East, preferably Doha.

I participated in a public sector project when I was an intern at EYP and the experience brought up my interest, thus I’m very interested in working in the Middle East, for there are lots of government project opportunities.

It would be great if anyone currently working at Doha can offer me a coffee chat. Thank you so much!
