Here is free advice.
The only jobs worth a **** in the sorporate world are high dollar sales jobs (sell or die) and high level officer positions (bonus eligible 25% or more of BAE). You do not seem the Sales type. That leaves you with aiming for one of those high-end management gigs.
If you ever get the chance to be up for one of theses, you will have demonstrated some modicum of ability. But the biggest factor that separates you is the big bosses' perception that you have the ability to get things done that othes in similar positions in your company do not have.
At this level we all hope you reach, you'll find that you'll be scored on the ability to persuade as well as how well you can obtain and use internal resources. Little else counts.
Sorry I had you as Asst Marketing Director as of course you were Asst Publicity Director before moving on (congrats).
How influential are you? Are you doing new things now other than managing racing information for CDI's websites? Whatever you're doing, good luck.
