However it's for a Deli Clerk in my store. And lately how they have separated out some bakery people, leaving some to work afternoons and closing shifts(to which I am one of the remaining 3 over there that is not full-time), I'm not sure if I can sign my name and apply or not.
I mean I've wanted full-time for a while now(need a few more duckets to help pay off student loans, BIG TIME), but if were to get this position(doubtful do to the seniority aspect of things, and from all the names that I've seen signed up so far. There is clearly only one winner that will get it. And she has wanted full-time since forever too), it will screw bakery out of another closer. Not to mention, I've only filled in over in Deli here and there a few times. I didn't mind it for those times. But there is definitely some things in Deli I have likely forgotten in the last several weeks again, since I've been strictly in bakery lately.
Which those are the Cons of the situation(although if I'm honest, I think it's only being offered now. Cause we sorely need people in Chicken shop, and about everybody they put back there. Is kind of ass-ing it up. And not doing that hot of a job. Or can't work that area for however many hours are required to work it(and mainly that is a con for me, cause although I'm no 90 lb. weakling, I for damn sure can't lift the chickens when they come in the boxes frozen on my own without help for one. And for two, I definitely am not any form or a cook whatsoever! Knowing my luck I'd burn the kitchen down, lol.). The pros would be a touch more money, not a lead position, would get me out of being on closing by myself, and I could have more days where I can ACTUALLY get my breaks in.
But frankly not sure what I should do though. Have to sign-up by the 14th before management and the union person takes it down to I guess start doing interviews with the people on there. I have off til Wed. (although I'm sure they will try and call me in regardless) and technically would miss the deadline to sign-up(although I could have signed up tonight, as I just learned about the position earlier today, but not fully sure of what all this position will actually entail).
Either way, long story short...what would you do in a position like this? Go for it? Not go for it?
I should, and do a side note of prefer a full-time spot for bakery though. As it sucks to be hired into a dept. and hear from managers all the time about there being an uneven number of full-time to part-time peeps in depts. that they wish to change. But doesn't happen in forever.
I would rather commit suicide than work for Kroger full time. If that's really your life's goal, I'd like to know the inner workings of your brain and why you think the way you do. So many capable, hardworking witty people work at this sh*thole for their whole life when they could take a course at college and after do less work somewhere else for double the money if not more lmao.

Have an Associates and Bachelor's degrees. And prior to getting hired on at Kroger only sales gigs and a part-time position as a substitute secretary with the local school system would even hire me. And this had been since I graduated from college the second(from getting my Bachelor's) in 2010. About everywhere I tried to get an interview was throwing the no experience card at me. Or saying they would keep my application on record or they were in a hiring freeze. So no, Kroger is definitely NOT, my life goal or end all be all career. But I need some funds to get these Student Loans off my back. And part-time ain't quite cutting it right now.
If you want Full Time sign it!! If your ok with doing the job.....Sign it!! You could always move back to Bakery....as a Full Timer....
I've signed it. Even tried to ask one of my back up managers about if it would be specifically for Chicken shop or not. And she didn't even really know much about it. Other than the fact it was for Deli. But she said she spoke to my DH(dept. head) about me being interested in full time. But then she asked me the other day if any one had talked to me about it yet and I said no. Still haven't heard anything. And I believe I've made the mistake of telling my family about the full time position. Cause now my uncle is insisting on me running off copies of my resume and bringing in my degrees to show somebody in HR, so that I could "for sure" get the position. But even I know, from what I've heard AT the store and even reading on here. Regardless of how much you have going for yourself paper wise. Kroger doesn't really seem to want to hear it about all that.
And even though I think we have a stipulation about getting full time hours for so many consecutive weeks. I can't even come to them about that really, cause any time I get close they have cut my hours. And this last time I was semi close and was up to 7 weeks do to other peeps being on vacation. But yea, once everybody came back, more cutting of the hours. But weirdly enough one of the senior chicks in my dept. said something about shouldn't I be close to getting enough hours by now or something like that(didn't have a real chance to ask her as we were busy). So maybe there is an additional way they figure the hours? I have no clue and I'll have to figure out a way to get with the store manager that also does some HR stuff and see what she can tell me.
But I'm feeling like I'm going to hear a big fat No, and "who told you were all that close in the first place?"
