| rockstar101 User ID: 39914443 United States10/16/2018 03:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's a good thing for you but not for your colleagues. You need to keep this meeting confidential between you and your bar buddies. When the one great scorer comes to write against your name, he writes not that you won or lost but how you played the game. The stance and stare of a wolf you find yourself alone with will tell you that he is prepared to treat you as you would treat him. Whether that comforts or frightens you, he has told you all you need know about both. |

| Nexus-9 User ID: 77034319  Germany10/16/2018 04:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So I was hired onto this company in a different role than my previous 20+ professional career. Although I love my current job I want to get back into what o know best which is PM. So I reach out to hr about what I need to do for a career path into PM, although I've done it I figure with a new company they have certain training etc that they want. Quoting: AmericanPatriot1776 So about a week later I get an email from the vp of the division I am interested in. I'm sort of confused, I expected a supervisor or team lead or trainer to reach out, but the vp personally did and wants to talk to me. My previous email to hr detailed my experience. What are your thoughts on this? Very strange, but maybe positive? If the VP is not directly in your chain-of-command, then its positive, because he or she can't really fire you.

| Dax de Jagermeister User ID: 76698647 United States10/17/2018 04:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Rule #1 in business is to never tell a colleague or co-worker of any potential advancement or job change that may be in your future. Believe me, they will work sabotage it at all costs. You don't need that type headache. Good Luck! Dax de Jagermeister |

Would it be appropriate to bring my resume along when I meet with them? Yes, but only offer it at the appropriate time. Meaning after all of the small talk and the VP expresses interest in your background for PM position. Dax de Jagermeister |
