Ok seriously .
You would need to become a managers assistant or buddy. This is where you cover the managers day off and sickness. So you become a manager for a day then back amongst your colleagues. Nice.
Of course the idea is that you kiss arse and are made up to a manager but this seldom happens.

Getting into the golfing set seems to help judging by our office... 
You do the work, they get the loot. The men with the smiles and the 3 piece suits.

Internal jobs listed (lists) a deputy managers role you deputise when required and get paid pro/rata for those days, then returning to your parent DO and role, prove yourself and options become avaliable.

You just need to have it in you to be a Judas, a turncoat, a back-stabbing two-faced son-of-a-bitch.
If you have those qualities, then you are what senior management want. In short, a Rat.
If they want you, they'll know where to find you, because you will have already shown, errr, promise.

A lad at our office has been in less than a year and he's passed the Deputy Managers assessment/Interview so time is not an issue.POSTWOMAN wrote:Can someone explain the process in practice.

No qualifications required, look on the RM internet site periodically or your noticeboard, alternatively ask your own manager if there are any roles coming up.
