Turn in your "Letter of Intent" to apply for part-time management, do exactly what you are told to do and be prepared to facilitate a steady flow of wings and beer to full-time management in order to earn their trust. You don't have to be smart or competent to get promoted, but you do have to be loyal and trustworthy. The closer you get to your center manager, the more likely you will get pulled into his/her inner circle and get promoted up. I've watched this happen over and over for twenty years.
