I am in the process of preparing myself for a promotion at work. Recently, I submitted a letter of intent (I posted it on this forum) to my Human Resources Manager. I work for a very large corporation and climbing the ladder to management is nothing short of militant. In the near future, I will be subject to panel interviews, one-one-one interviews, role-playing situations, writing assignments, etc. I am confident in my job but am still a bit nervous. If anyone has been through similar situations and would like to share comments or advice, I would love to hear it. I know this doesn't relate much to the English forum format, but I am very impressed with the help and advice I receive here and have had the opportunity to communicate with some great people. I think I'm getting addicted to this site! It has been a valuable resource.
Keep up the great work.

Thanks for replying. I guess I've never really looked at it in that perspective. It does, indeed, make logical sense! Sometimes it pays to sponge as much information from as many resources as possible. Thanks again.
