Never Sell Yourself Short

My former boss pulled me out of the pool of staff members and asked me to become the office manager. Within three months, he asked me to assume the bookkeeping responsibilities, though I had no experience. I had to teach myself bookkeeping and the accounting software we used. In another three months he asked if I could assume the IT Support responsibilities, which I did. Every time he approached me, I wasn't sure I was up to the task. What I learned is, there is nothing I can't learn. I also learned never to sell myself short.

Consider yourself lucky! This doesn't happen very often and it's all too common to see people struggle to get recognized and bumped up.
