I might have an opportunity to be our HR assistant at work. Im tossing and turning in my mind about it bcz I hate change but its so tempting and its completely different than what I've spent 11 yrs of Walmart doing (which is all up front and management) It would be every Sat 8-5, every Sunday off which I would love, and I pick my other day off, then 2 days 8-5 and 2 days 12-9. Same pay, same level but a completely different thing and a new change within work. Anyone worked HR before??? Adam thinks I'd be crazy if I dont take it, but Im so having a hard time in my mind.

I've never worked HR but it's a great gateway for future jobs. You can maybe become HR manager down the road there or take the experience down the road to other places.

Well, I started 18 years ago as a checker at a grocery store because that was the only job I can find when I arrived to USA. 1 year later, I was assitant manager and I started to help with payroll which was an opportunity to be away from the face of other people

Once I became a customer service manager within 2 years from working, I started to engage more with HR assitant, and I can say you might like it.

HR will be involved into applying company processes, explaining benifits, insuring hiring is according to standared, follow up on changing of union policies, and after all, you will be able to attend meetings with other HR folks, and possibility of moving up the ladder.

I would agree with Adam, try to take a break from the front and work more with people since this will put additional experience on your resume

Tam, take it. It is a good opportunity to move up. Moreover, you'll now have the opportunity to see that it's not just the customers that are crazy, but your coworkers as well.

I am in HR- I would jump at the opportunity bc it opens up so much more options in your career pathing future. HR is really a

great field to go into - there is an HR dept in every workplace, which opens career roads to take in the near or distant

future. I say "GO FOR IT"! Listen to your husband...dont give up this opportunity!

Go for it Tammy!!!

Go for it Tammy!!!

Thank you Ladies! I interviewed for it today. Its crazy how things work out bcz my brother was actually in the process of transferring to my store on April 9th. I didnt know about it at the time and when I found out I had to let them know bcz I wouldnt be able to work in HR if my brother worked there. Adams warehouse called for my brother 3 days ago and he was offered the same days (Mon-Thurs) as Adam and start out with $15/hr and transfer on April 11th. So this news of him not coming to my store now made me eligible to apply for this position. The interview was smooth, but now I know how many others feel when they have to sit in that "hot seat" of questions that I usually have to give. Im sure I'll be finding out soon and from the way its been said they all wanted me to take this position bcz Im all about business with Walmart, hard on policy, what one dont know I'll always find out and Im a people person.... just nervous about changing what I've been doing for 11yrs... but its in my same store, with the same co workers, just in the back and not running around the front.

[R and F 34]

Take it Tamara, take it gf. You are intelligent and hard-working and so full of energy so I know you will be great at that position.
