Moreover, I believe that I have perfect organizational, communication, decision-making skills. Over the years I have learned how to handle all our systems, I have learned the whole circle of production in the company- from the initial process to the final step.

I have been thinking for some time that I have taken many steps in this company, but I have still not received the much-desired promotion. I know the whole work process and I have always thought that I deserve appreciation for my efforts. The company is wonderful, I get along great with my colleagues, but I feel stuck for a while. I am a person who wants to develop and after all my efforts at work, I think I deserve it. I hope you understand. I will expect your feedback.
