I was reading another thing about finding the right fit with a job and it reminded me of something I hadn't thought of in a long time. In 3 of my 4 jobs out of college, I was promoted within 6 months of being hired.
At one, I was hired as a manager of a small group of systems administrators and within a few months I was promoted to a director level with various units of IT reporting to me.
At the position before that I was hired on as a technical trainer and within 5 months I was asked to take a manger role with far greater responsibility.
Before that I was hired on as a technical product specialist and within 3 months i was traveling around the US as the primary liaison between the customers and the engineers and later promoted to the role of Global Training Manager covering several continents.
I'm really not trying to brag here but in all instances I've been brought on to do one thing which I've excelled at to the point that it gained the attention of higher level management and was quickly moved into larger roles with greater responsibility.
