* ''Series/TheBeautyQueenOfJerusalem'': After Ephraim saved his family's lives, Gabriel gives him a job at the shop, even though he's a drunkard and Gabriel hates him. He can't let that go unrewarded, especially when Gabriel ''wasn't'' there to protect them. Ephraim puts up a newspaper clipping in the shop calling him a hero, so all the customers will know about him. [[spoiler:Gabriel fires him soon after for being drunk at work.]]

* In the MedalsForEveryone ending of ''Film/{{Evolution}}'', Wayne is made a firefighter despite having failed his exam at the beginning of the film (not through his own fault, but because he was kept awake the previous night due to the initial meteor landing). He actually shows that he is qualified throughout the film (by driving a fire truck, operating the hose, and being generally heroic), but not in a way that the authority figures would be aware of.

* "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2685077/1/Kim-Possible-The-Next-Generation Kim Possible: The Next Generation]]" opens with WesternAnimation/KimPossible as an ensign up for promotion on the ''Enterprise''-D (''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration''). She receives the promotion to lieutenant, [[spoiler:but is subsequently demoted back to ensign to placate a neighbouring government after an unofficial trip to their planet to follow up a clue in a current investigation. However, after said investigation leads to Kim almost single-handedly thwarting a plan to destroy Earth, she is promoted all the way to lieutenant commander, technically jumping two whole grades at once to become the youngest lieutenant commander in Starfleet (and possibly in its entire history)]].
