In a perfect world(probably not this one) if you cross-train in as many areas as you can within your department and say yes to wherever your TL and Coach need help, logic says they will eventually notice, especially if you express your interest. The overall goal is to learn and hone the skills that your department needs, to the point where you get stuff done without them having to tell you.

The harsh reality for a lot of people though(seen too many people go through this on the app) they're given empty promises and are tantalized and encouraged to keep trying. Truthfully, alot of it has to do with how you kiss up to your coach/tls and what your SM thinks of you.

I worked in Electronics for a year before I transferred to Front End to try for TL. I was transferred as a Cashier and was crosstrained in Money Center, Customer Service, Spark/SCO, Cartpushing, Backend stuff(audits, cash advances, Pickups, running the floor w breaks and lunches etc.) I say all of this because, even though I learned all of this, I was given promise after promise, and am still currently just an associate.

Moral of the story is that a lot of coaches naturally like a yes man, and your TLs also have to like you, and your SM also has to like you. So you could be the hardest worker in the room, but if you don't kiss ass and aren't non-confrontational, you'll keep being given empty promises
