By Not a programmer yet - 01/09/2015 15:30 - United States - San Francisco

Today, my boss told me that the company will be hiring a programmer for our department. I had the idea for the position when we went over my 3-year career path last month, but it wasn't approved. I now get to look over résumés from other people applying for my dream job. FML

Maybe you could ask about it before starting to look through the résumés

You could submit your resume' along with the others. I'm assuming, of course, that your boss gets the final say.

Time to look for a new job. Do you really want to be working under someone like that?

Hire someone for your job then and hire yourself for the position you want. DuH

ask your boss if you can apply for the position too? you'd be staying in the department. It couldn't hurt to ask.

Grow some balls! Tell your boss it's your dream job! They might be an idiot & didn't think of you or just waiting for you to apply.

Apply for it yourself! If your boss kicks up a fuss, go over his head with proof that it was in your 3-year plan.
