What did I learn from my job? Though I have worked at Walmart for 3 Months. The job is great and sometimes fun with amazing people. Though these months I've experienced a lot of new skills, as, learning to socialize more, counting money, using cash registers, and more about how employees work together. This is helpful for me as it's beneficial to my future career. My manager and Team Leads are nice and are always helpful when I or other employees need help. I'm sure they are appreciated by all our hard work we put into our job.What is my goals? Lastly, what can I do to go above and beyond? I mainly have 2 goals. One of which is to hopefully learn more about the customer center as I think it's an interesting job. The second one is to get better memory to figure out why a thing isn't working on a register. A random one is to try out another position at Walmart. Lastly,I want to go above and beyond by doing my work and being hard-working throughout my time while I work at Walmart.#georgiawblworks #cherokeewbl

I often get asked, where do I find open positions at Walmart? Here are a couple of links,1. Here on LinkedIn under the Jobs subheading -https://lnkd.in/gfNqcVpS2. On our main recruiting site, https:// careers.walmart.comNOTE: I am not a hiring manager or a recruiter. I do not have direct input into most jobs , there for if I don’t personally know you and your work qualifications, I will not provide you a recommendation. I will offer to review your Resume/CV after you apply if you will furnish the position number (starts with R- and then a series of numbers). Please be your own advocate and apply first, I would hate for you to not be considered for a position because I get to your request until after the position is closed. Please remember I am doing this on my own time and I am providing you with my synopsis of your qualifications based on my tenure with the company. If you are looking for a recommendation, I am not your guy.

Was so sad to hear that Walmart is going back to the office and now hiring for in-office positions only again. If there is one large company I would work for in the ecommerce space, Walmart is it. They have made TREMENDOUS progress in the space and they have begun to prove to hundreds of thousands of third-party sellers that yes, there IS another option to grow your business online. THAT'S the team that I want to be a part of. After what that other company has done to my businesses and thus my family over the past decade, I want nothing more than to join their largest competitor to help them succeed. I mean, I am at banshee stage with this desire. I am at berserker level. Fanatic level. My family and my life, though, is firmly planted here in Charlotte. Wife has a long career here. Kids go to school here. There's 0 chance I could talk the family into giving up everything and move to New Jersey or the West Coast. I believe that many companies are going to go back to 100% in-office again. Luckily, there seems to be such an overwhelming flood of qualified people for any and every job posting that the odds of a candidate and a city match are good to excellent. Personally - and I don't like to brag - I am at 0 for 31 job applications for positions I am 100% qualified for and some even overqualified for. There are at least 200 applicants to every job. I am obviously doing something incredibly wrong in my search OR the job market is much, much stranger than it seems. Don't cry for me, though. I'm really, REALLY persistent. I don't give up easily and work hard at all times. That may be a trait of my generation, which is both a blessing and a curse in the job search. Oh Walmart.....what could have been.(sigh)#amazon #walmart #ecommerce

It took 15 rejections at Walmart before I finally got a job offer.It felt like a lost cause putting in that 16th application.But I did something different with that one.I got ultra-specific on what I wanted to do (sales engineering) and updated my resume and LinkedIn profile to convey that.I also shared this focus with my network on LinkedIn.That’s when a former co-worker of mine reached out about a sales engineer opening in her organization at Walmart.It seemed like a great fit.Turns out it was!Why am I telling you this story?Two reasons:1/ A company that rejects your application doesn’t mean no forever, just not at this time for that role.2/ If you’re using the old “spray and pray” approach and applying for any and every job you see, consider slowing down. Get hyper focused on exactly what you’re looking for and pursue opportunities that align with your vision.Anything you’d add?#careerchange #walmart #jobsearch

Forbes reports that Walmart is rewriting job descriptions at its corporate headquarters, signaling a shift away from requiring a #collegedegree. Now, applicants can showcase skills through prior experience or alternative learning methods. This move places Walmart among the growing list of companies embracing 'skills-based hiring,' driven by #talentshortages, rising college costs, and a commitment to diversity.Check out this article to learn more 👇 #JenniferTardyConsulting #TeamJTC #WalmartCorporate #Forbes #SkillsBasedHiring #WalmartInnovation #DiversityandInclusion"

Retail Today / Retail Renaissance: The Holiday/Xmas Season is weeks away, all the “big boys” have announced their plan to hire thousands of seasonal workers. Amazon, Walmart, Target, even Macy’s and hundreds of other small businesses will be putting on additional staff for this exciting holiday season. Normally they are part timers who supplement your existing staff and organizations. I’am a little confused since many companies have complained about the lack of availability of potential new hires. So how do you attract these valuable new employees? What incentives are available? Pay? Benefits? Holiday Discount? Potential full time position? Training? My gut tells me, we will start hearing that no one wants to work? As the attached article states, think about the Costco way, offer a potential career, not a job. #retail #holiday2023 #newhires #seasonaljobs #organisationaldevelopment #training #customerexperience #shoppingexperience #stores #retailtrends #retailindustry #retailstrategy #retailexperience #costco #amazon #walmart #target #macys

The retail job market is evolving, with some companies cutting jobs while others are in high demand. Walmart is leading the way by increasing compensation for their superstore managers, offering larger bonuses and stock awards, potentially totaling over $400,000 annually for top performers. Store managers oversee sizable teams and revenue streams, often advancing without college degrees. With the added responsibility of managing e-commerce orders, the role has become more complex. Walmart is addressing concerns about turnover by recruiting and training college graduates for managerial roles and increasing pay and bonus incentives. The new compensation structure includes automatic stock grants, with supercenter managers receiving higher grants compared to those at smaller-format stores.

Today marks 16 years with Walmart, not a normal milestone but it has been half of my life! It’s been such an amazing ride that has almost come to end quite a few times over the years, and I can’t imagine what life would be like had that happened. There are a lot of friends that I have made over the years, a lot of people that I spent time in trenches with that I no longer talk with. There are a couple of things that they have left me with though:1.The reason we’re here is to support a life away from here. While I’m one of the biggest customer advocates you will find, every associate has a family, school, a vacation around the corner that they show up to support. Take interest in the reason that people work alongside you.2.The time that we spend here can either be the worst time and moments in our day/week/month, or it can be some of the best times we’ve had. Looking back, I realize that how I show up for the day dictates how the time progresses. I spent my entire 2 years as an Assistant Manager in the store answering the question “How are you?” with “Amazing”, and while they were some of the hardest times of my career, every second was amazing.3.The opportunities in life (for me that is at Walmart 😊) are endless and will never cease to surprise you. Through so many unforeseen circ*mstances I’m in my seat today. I happened to apply for a transfer to the wrong store in Colorado when moving from Wyoming and ended up meeting my wife at that wrong store. I applied for an Assistant Manager role at one of the toughest stores in Denver not realizing how tough it would be. That store ended up piloting Walmart Online Pickup and Delivery program (shoutout GHS crew!). I rolled the dice on travelling for work and missing my best friend’s wedding (she has since forgiven me) which lead me down the path of getting my first home office role. Opportunity almost always comes in the face of change and challenges, don’t ignore themIf you’re ever wondering if Walmart is a good place to work, This is That Place! Make the most of where you are at, own the role that you have, people notice and will show out for you.Tagging a few folks that have had a hand in shaping who I am and how I work today:Cassie Smith Marshall Deats Doug Lowe, MBA Sam Mullins Frank Grisby Ellen Deyoc Lisa Perez John Revill Monica Naegle Adam Elledge Adan Campos David Carr Jonece Hooper So many more that I'm know I missed!
