I got taken away to a meeting room last night by the Boss for a chat, a tad worried as he only desends from the Gods normaly to sack some one.

He informed me there is a new job coming up at our site, and wants me to apply for it. The job in question is only been offered to people well above my pay grade and time in the firm, but when I pointed that out he said he will personaly back my appilaction when it goes off to the HR department.

so does he...

A) Have some major faith in my skills
B) He's after some thing

So should I go for it ? If I got the job it woud piss a fair few people off, but hell its not a school play ground, cant be every ones friend.

But at the same time the job would be a massive leap in responabilty

mmm...

Do it!!!!!!!!

You'll only be asking yourself 'what if' if you dont and some f*cktard gets the job

[Entwood]

Promotion is always good .. financialy, personal pride, and is neccesssary to progress.

You have been offered a chance of promotion.. yes more work, and responsibility, but more rewards as well.

The only person who can stop you succeeding is you, what do you have to lose by going for it anyway .. you get the job .. great, you don't .. you stay where you are for now .. a no lose situation ..

[Bo Bo]

Go for it, you'll only be thinking "what if" if you don't....

[zippo]

go for it . What have you got to lose .The boss must think you have the brains for the job or he wouldn't ask you to apply in the first place
    Good luck  

[Mikejr]

Concur with all the previous comments, go for it, nothing to lose    

[markey mark]

get it there fella !! bugger the rest !!

[omegaman2]

get in there like flynn

[JonArgraig]

I'm goingto go for it,

Only concean is that, well I blagged my way into the firm in the first place, though I was honest about my lack of IT skills in the interview I think it was my cheek that got me in,

Just worried I'll end up over my head if I do get it

[maria]

I would go for it and if they have a problem with that then its tuf and i wish you good luck and hope you get it  

[omegamonkey]

Go for it

If you have concerns about technical expertise, get registered on any relevant techie forums to the work you do and ask away when you hit a problem, I've alays found an answer there if it can't be found at work!

Google every tech issue too, I work in IT for a large firm and often use Google to track server issues.

Makes you look brainy too when it works  

[sir moanalot]

go for it, if people get upset- tough. i was acting manager for a few days and a couple of guys got upset over it!
they wouldnt hesitate to get the job!

[JamesV6CDX]

Do it

I am 24 and I'm responsible for a lot of NHS Infrastrucure and Information Systems, and I'm on a few grades higher than most people in the building twice my age.

I get some resentment, but so what - most of the people that resent me couldn't do what I do

And as already commented, google is your friend (It's certainly mine!)

[HolyCount]

Go for it mate -- the blagging to get in the firm paid off -- they obviously think you can do it -- you just have to convince yourself -- it worked last time
