5 Questions to both GSMs aspiring to grow and get the opportunity to be GMs and Service Directors who want to move forward to Fixed Ops Director positions, but don't have an opening in your market:
1) What are you currently doing to add value and learn on your own to be ready?
2) What public evidence is there of your efforts and achievement?
3) If there was a program designed to help you get to the next step, would you pay for it on your own...be able to ask your store for this...or not be interested at all?
4) If no current opportunities exist in your market- are you willing to move to accept a promotional step in your career?
5) If a 2 year stint was available in a different market that offered you this position, would you consider it for the opportunity to expand your knowledge and resume?
I see opportunities every day across the country for talented people at great organizations. I would ask that you look carefully at these questions.
Please, refrain from publicly sharing "why someone should hire you!" material....and no venting. That would be a leading indicator this wouldn't be right for either of us.
