"When my manager went on unexpected medical leave for three months last year, I was asked to step into her position in the interim. I knew the basics but was certainly not trained on the specifics of the role. I was able to take on her tasks successfully by leaning on my team, reading a lot of policy-related manuals, and asking many questions. When my manager returned, she was very pleased with my progress, and I was awarded a promotion."
