Edit: Someone from another store got the position and I’m grateful for it because I don’t have to worry about more added responsibility. Kind of glad I didn’t get it.
So, I heard back--there are four candidates that are vying for the SOM or Front End Department Head position including someone from my own but I might have a chance because I was still under consideration because it means more money, and responsibility and they asked that of me and I told them that I am ready for it. And that I am more confident about it. On top of finding out that I am still a candidate, I got a fifty cent raise, so I’m making 16.50 which is better for us and if I get the SOM position–More money for us! Us, meaning my husband and I.
