No Growth, No room for advancement
I'm currently seeking a job as a customer Service Representative.I worked in retail for many years and I didn't get
promoted.I have a Masters Degree in Business Administration but I couldn't get a better job than what I currently do where I make 15 dollars an hour.My company wanted to leave me where I was and when I moved to the next company I met with the same situation,they are hiring from the outside instead of training employees
inside the company.
I asked to give me a different position as a manager but I am religious and I can't work Saturdays and Jewish holidays and many companies don't like to be inconvenienced that way so It doesn't seem I will be a manger anytime soon.I also I wanted to be the permit coordinator but I was not offered the position because I can't work on Saturdays.
I'm still looking and optimistic about finding a job but not about being promoted because of my Saturday Issue.I t seems most companies don't appreciate smart people and are not interested on letting them grow because of inconvenience

Nili, I'm sorry that you have encountered such barriers to advancement in your last positions. It's sad indeed that some companies are not flexible for certain roles. And there are companies out there where that is not the case. The good news about being here on FGB is that you can use the employer reviews to get a sense for supportive companies. I noticed you have not completed your profile here on FGB so it is hard to know what exciting outcomes/results you can deliver for a company. The Retail industry is going through a lot of challenges right now due to the Internet, so there's an opportunity for someone who is experienced like you to help navigate the landscape. Have you made a list of 100 companies you can benefit? Are you connected with people at those companies who can tell you if the company offers the flexibility you need and/or can hire you? Are you sharing your professional expertise on social media? Are you sending direct emails to hiring managers instead of applying online?
