Unsettled feelings
Okay check this out. l I met at person at the 1st job I'd had in a years time. Well the job is seasonal the job ended the beginning of this last winter 2018. This person calls me up asking if I'd know where to get them a job? I also had a 2nd job that started the same time. as my 1st job. I've been there 7 months maybe little longer. When I first started I didnt know much about the job I(I just knew I had to work and to try my best. And I have come along ways.I like my job I received 1st place in the employer truva night received won 60.bucks. Won't 2nd in customer service bonus. Receive 50 bucks. Never call in sick, always on time. Go in on my days off. Cover for other employees when they call in sick with no coverage. Worked hard to show that I'm dependable and trustworthy. Work some ooening and some closing. Received 2 raises in less than six months. I am the only person that was asked to do weekly inventory. Which i enjoyed doing. I feel I have worked really hard to get wherrei am at./ in such a short time My boss tells me we are hiring. And you get 50 bucks for an employee that stay with the company for 3 months or more. That uses you a a reference. So I get this person i met this summer a job with me..i felt bad for her and new they need income for there family.. so, put may neck out there and made the connection. Just got the 50 buck for getting her a job / staying with the with the company for 3 months+. I. Which is great job! also got, another friend of mine a job there. which I have to receive if she stays with us for 3 + months.I hope they stay. Well a LEAD position came up.

I feel really ....?";:"#;";";!#("! How would you feel if it were you? Up set with my boss too. Like What? Talking to him tomorrow not sure what he is going tell me. wish me luck.
Hi Tina Arnett well first off it sounds like you are a ROCK STAR at your job and getting referrals. I bet you would be amazing in HR ; ) I would honestly be a little upset too and no one would blame you for feeling that way. I am not sure why they chose that newer hire over you, but perhaps her experience and skills were closer to what they needed in that exact role. What about speaking to your boss and asking if there is any future room for advancement. Make sure to express that interest and not take this laying down and remaining silent. They won't know how you feel unless you express it. Just make sure to remain calm and professional which I know you will. Don't stress and keep doing what you're doing!
I can understand your position. I agree talk to your boss, find out what you lacked that someone else got the position. That way you are asking specifically what you did not have. Then ask how you can get the experience and or training needed. So that the next time such a job has an opening you will be a very strong candidate for that position.
