职位晋升—Job Promotion

I have great news to report. I just got a promotion¹ and a raise! I've been working for my company for the past three years, and things have gone extremely well. First, I helped my department increase sales by 200% during that time. We have advertised and promoted our products at trade shows, in the newspaper, and on TV, and customers have really enjoyed our products. As a result, our company's reputation and image have expanded beyond our area. Now, more and more customers are learning² about us by word of mouth; when you have satisfied customers, the news gets around. In addition to increased sales, I've established a good working relationship with my colleagues. We recognize each person's strengths and respect other's opinions. I think my coworkers feel I can lead the department in the right direction. Therefore, I humbly³ accepted the promotion and raise, and I'll strive⁴ to do my best for my company and my customers in the future.
