It's good enough for correspondence, but not for a position of actual responsibility.
SO....
I sort of wrote out what I <i>need</i> to say. I don't know how much of it I'm going to get out, or how much of it is going to make sense when it comes out of my mouth, since I am so shy and unassertive and hate standing up for myself because it means I need to be tough and, well, assertive.
So...any help would be really appreciated. Suggestions? How should I handle this? How should I approach the situation? I need to make sure that both of my bosses are in the room, so I need to set up a meeting when I get there in the morning.
Anyway, here's my little schpiel.
<i>I greatly appreciate that you are giving me this very important job to do. It reinforces my work ethic, and makes me want to work all the harder for you. I know I have proven myself competent over the last six months, and very hard-working. I am also a quick learner, as I have shown over the last couple of months when I started training for this position. I am honored that you think I am good enough and I plan on working hard to prove that I am capable of doing this job.
However, my main concern with this is that while I was doing letters, I was not dealing with as much responsibility. The deadlines were, although strict, not as priority as the IME position, especially with the Johnson & Johnson account. And now that I am helping with the IME position while waiting for someone to train for my letters, I am doing twice the work, as I am still doing my current job as well as working Johnson & Johnson IME cases. I feel that if I am going to be elevated to this higher-responsibility position, there should be some financial compensation. I hope you will take into consideration my work ethic, my productivity, my responsibility, my ability to learn quickly, and to adapt to new projects almost immediately.
Thank you again for this opportunity. I will execute the position with dignity, and represent the Reed Group as a capable firm to the best of my abilities.</i>
