So, my direct ETL officially used the "preparing you for TL" speech the other day. Once 4th quarter is over, it looks like he plans to partner me with our STL and a few other ETL's after 4th quarter to work towards progression in the store, meaning a TL position, I believe.
I know I shouldn't be surprised since I was promoted within the store at the ETLs suggestion a few months ago and I knew they had more in mind, but I'm still a little freaked out since I never really saw myself as a TL, lol.
Anyway, how exactly does the process work? I understand eventually there are a series of interviews eventually leading to one with the DTL. But what else? Since he wants to partner me with the leadership, I assume that means mentoring and coaching.
Also, do you interview for a specific TL position or is it general? Will they put you in charge of former peers or do they move you to a different department? Sorry, I really don't know how this all works, and knowledge is power, lol.
