What are several criteria for achieving a promotion in A/R?

[Hexum88]

Hello, and it's a pleasure to be on the Accountant Forums!

Currently I know few details about the field of accounting, only what I've read from Salary.com and the princeton career books. For example, I do not have any idea how promotion works in the field.

If I happened to land an entry level job in Accounts Receivable during college and worked in this position for a while, then what would be the criteria for achieving a promotion to a supervisory position?

Is it possible to achieve several accomplishments or solve crucial problems in entry-level accounting and would that be helpful in your superiors decision-making?

Thank You

When I have promoted people they had the following in common:
fast, accurate worker
dependable
they treat the work with importance as if they were the owner of the company
they strive to fully understand their job (they ask questions if unsure)
they are eager to help in other areas
