Who am I?

Hi, my name is Jelani. I work in a company that is continuously hiring for entry level management positions. I remember when I was seeking my entry level management position and the excitement I had at the thought and vision, as well as the skepticism and weariness about the reality of this job.

Now I am a member of one of these companies that train people such as myself to learn and then teach others. I am an entry level management trainee.

Recently I asked my manager and teacher, Doug what his goals are and he said, 'Growth. To turn you into me, so I can move up and you can train others to be you. And so on.'

So, I asked him to describe his hiring process.
