The TJX Companies, Inc.’s Post

So with Walmart opening up jobs for people without the college experience why don’t they open up a type of open interview for just associates to see their knowledge and if they ‘vibe’ with their team instead of bringing people in who know nothing about the position 🤷🏼♀️ There are so many DC workers that are trying to get to home office to better their career but they can’t even get an interview with home office at all. Instead they bring in people from other places and they try to change things before getting to know how everything works. Why not try and hire from down below where these workers actually know what it takes to run a DC?

As a Walmart recruiter, I often receive questions about various roles in the company. Since I support certain areas of the business, there are some questions I'm unable to answer and the roles I post may not fit your needs. But don't worry, Walmart is the largest employer with a vast array of opportunities across the business! Check out our career portal for a complete list of job openings. And a big thank you to the LinkedIn community for sharing my posts - it helps me reach a larger audience and do my job better! #WalmartCareers #JobOpportunities #CareerPortal #LinkedInCommunity

I love this! We are in the Information Era, where every professional is the owner of their career. Careers are no longer linear, and with the rapid advancement of technology, new roles are constantly emerging and evolving. We all need to adapt and develop what I call 'power skills' – essential abilities like leadership, resilience, adaptability, and critical thinking – to thrive in this dynamic and ever-changing environment.

Why Titles are so important? Does it matter, Does it effect your work somehow? What if your payscale is higher for a lower title compared to what you were earning before? Would you comply to that situation?! #money #title

Many friends of mine were questioning my decision to join AWS Indonesia back then in 2020 during the pandemic. They did not see what I saw during my journey in AWS until now. The title is very simple, Head of Security Assurance, while I was already in the compliance director minus one position, as a Chief Compliance Officer in one of the top notch life insurance companies in Indonesia and I just passed the fit & proper test as Compliance Director in its pension fund unit. Some friends called me "idiot" to let go the opportunity being a Compliance Director or a CRO, at the time of my resignation. I saw the opportunity to learn new technology, being part of the best security team in the world, connecting with new people outside Indonesia, and new exposures with regulators, customers and emerging topics. For example, I started my public speaking career in 2005, and I had about 45 speakerships up to June 2020. Since I joined AWS up to now (4 years), I had approximately an additional 65 speakerships in the form of AWS events, regulators invited workshops, customer internal events, associations' national and regional conferences, with topics varied from audit, compliance, data privacy, AI, and cybersecurity. A continuous learning is more important than a complex luxurious job title, which only serves as sets of text in your HR system. Thanks to Alexis Robinson, CISA, PMP, MBA for sharing this insight. Have a great weekend ahead everyone... #continuousLearning #growth #learning

Would you take a step down to advance your career? Walmart Chief People Officer Donna Morris did just that and it led her to where she is today. “In the short run, don’t be as fixated with title,” she says. Instead, she encourages ambitious professionals to ask themselves, “What skills, what development, what growth am I going to have?” Even if your long-term career goals include an executive title, there are other considerations, like the size of the company, that come into play when planning your next move.

As a HR professional , I often encounter discussions around job titles and their significance. While titles can certainly hold value, it’s essential to recognize that they can vary widely across industries and organizations. What truly matters is the journey of career development and the responsibilities we take on along the way. Focus on gaining experience, developing skills, and taking on new challenges. The right position title will follow when you invest in your growth! #CareerDevelopment #HRInsights #GrowthMindset #leadership #Humanresources

Would you take a step down to advance your career? This is a question of long-term vs. short term thinking. A mark of great leadership is looking at the long-term gain of short term pain. I say yes, take a step down to advance your career. And if you are switching careers, it goes without saying, you must take one step back to take two steps forward.

People compare job titles as though they're a standardized currency when the reality is that their representation is about as accurate as star signs... 💫 In March 2021, Elon Musk even changed his official job title to 'Technoking of Tesla' saying, “I’m legally ‘Technoking. I just did that as kind of, like, a joke — just to show that these titles don’t mean a lot.” Extreme example I know, but its important to remember that whether you're applying for jobs or interviewing candidates, job titles are not apples-to-apples. 🍎 🍏 - If the job title starts with 'junior, senior or lead' find out how many other people in the team have that title and who sits above and below them? And what is the difference in expectations and day to day duties? - If its an engineering role ask what proportion of your time will be troubleshooting and bug fixing rather than designing and writing new code? - If it is a management role find out how big the team size is, how many layers of management there are and what job title you will be directly reporting into? - If its a leadership role who actually has the final say on the budget and strategy? And of course, if it sounds like a made-up job title or two different jobs combined in one then it probably is... 🕵♂️ #JobSeekers #Hiring #Staffing #Recruitment #JobTitles
