Supersonic Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Totally unexpected, with a good pay rise too! I am now "Senior Surveyor - Technical Real Estate" Only been there a year. Cracked a nice bottle of Shiraz to celebrate (with another one in reserve so watch out for some random meaningless posts later ) Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Th0r Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Congratulations... Myself being a student I am looking for another new job... The one I am applying for hits the minimum wage but I suppose it is better than scrounging off your father... Anyway, good luck with this promotion of yours!

Supersonic Posted May 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 There seems to be a few young 'uns posting on this thread so my advice to you is as follows (as received by my grandfather in the '70's): Work hard boy and strive to be the best at what you do. Don't let anyone, no matter who, underestimate you . Learn when to listen and not speak. Learn when to listen and ignore. Establish a realistic line which is never to be crossed by either you or your employer. This advice has done me well over the years, take heed young men.

Boondougal Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Top news that, same thing happened to me last week..although it was made even better by the fact i was lying on the beech...phone rings, notice its the big boss , well done he says you have been promoted and then told me i had my second pay rise in 4 months, i said before putting the phone down and promptly went to the bar... the only down side was i let slip to the misses how much the pay rise was..that night the restaurant choice was decidedly more expensive...
