Once I started school I looked for ways to grow within my organization. I built relationships with many different people so I could learn many things that would be beneficial to my job. Doing this allowed me opportunities to mentor others and I realized that I enjoyed help others learn things to make their jobs easier or at least more efficient. As I transitioned to a new job several years ago, I was afforded the opportunity to help my supervisor. Although she was feeling overwhelmed in her position I think I was able to help her become successful. Fortunately, this also allowed me to learn the things I would need to promote seamlessly into her position when she was promoted to another position. I was able to show my coworkers that I am a “team player” and still help with things around the office to ensure processing is done timely. My hope is this will continue to show them I am always willing to help so we are successful. I also want to help my staff to grow and work with them to learn new skills. I also continue to work with other departments to foster relationships. I use these interactions to learn ways to be better for the organization while helping streamline our own department
