[QUOTE="TechGrrl, post: 840433, member: 4932"] No one can get promoted into management these days without a degree. No one in HR is paid to go looking for talent, sad to say. YOU need to promote yourself! Let your full time manager know that you are interested in advancing yourself, and ask them what the best way to go about that is. The other downside (or upside) is that the UPS areas that specializing in PR/Communications are generally at REGION/Corporate levels, so if you are in a small center in a small state, that means relocation. Of course, constantly relocating is a fact of all corporate life, not just UPS, although meaningless relocations have slowed down due to costs over the last 5 years. Any big corporation is a soul-sucking experience. I still think UPS is better than most big corporations in that regard. If you want advancement with less soul-sucking, look for jobs with small to medium companies, or even non-profits. Pay isn't as good, of course. Just so you know, you have until you are 30 to figure out what you want to be when you grow up, so don't be afraid to take risks for a learning opportunity. [/QUOTE]
