Oh yeah they are specificially looking for people with Business Admin/Mgmt Degrees too!!

www.wachovia.com
type in Glen Allen as location and then look for operations specialist.

I am in the same situation as 5th Gen, stuck at Ukrop's on night crew and a May graduate from CNU with a Business/Managment Degree.

I looked at that job listing and was curious on what a job like that might pay? If you don't want to say publically, pm me a range or a guestimation. Is it a suit and tie stuck in the office all day job, or a bit more relaxed atmosphere?

If you know of anything, please help out. I need to get away from night stock at Ukrop's.

Thanks,
Allen

BTW...that job I told you about a couple weeks ago is still available, and the pay is about $3 more per hour than what I had originally told you.


why did you concentrate on management if you want to own your own shop? management has nothign todo with it, Finance does. If you are able to run your own shop management will come natural. just a word of advice.

as for a job, im not a career guy i cant help you with that

I got a business admin/manag. degree from VCU last year. It took me about 6 months to get the job that i wanted, same with my girlfriend. She got a job at the Martin Agency and I landed a job with Graphic Packaging International as their Maintenance Planner. The best advise i have is to take your time and good things will come.

yeah i agree with that take your time and things will come, i about gave up after a couple months and then people started calling left and right. so dont get discouraged if you dont hear anything right away.

You're killing me.
I'm going to be (hopefully) graduating from the same school with the same intended major, and you're working for the one place I can't stand to work for as it is.
I'd be curious to know what ya'll are making with night crew compared to what I was offered; if you don't mind that it is.

I agree with these guys. I still get calls on applications that I filled out 2 - 3 months ago. Post your resume for some constructive criticism. An impressive resume goes a long way towards getting you an interview and some of us may be able to help in that department.

I'll help if someone wants me to review their resume. PM or AIM for e-mail addy if you don't already have it. Did interviews the last few weeks to hire 2 people.

Im making about 9/hr at Ukraps, but you also have to factor in im getting 40hrs/wk + shift pay. Shift pay makes my pee pee hard.

Mumbles which store are you at?

Short Pump, #486. aka the Big Motherfucker.
I probably wouldn't hate my job as much if we weren't one of, if not the busiest stores.
