Archived TPS Advice?

[littlebluej]

I'm currently a global TM, trained in 5 workcenters, and well-liked at my store. I've been wanting to move up in the company and I'm interested in the TPS position; I've actually been interested in TPS since I joined. One of our current TPS members is leaving in about a month and they're looking for replacements. This person even recommended me to the ETL-AP. The ETL-AP has approached me and asked/said/encouraged me to apply for TPS.

I really, really would like to be TPS. Does anyone have advice about the interview process and/or what to know/expect about this position? Also, what is the next step above TPS?

Thank you!

First, apply for it. Sounds like your etl-ap wants you. Go for it.

Always apply, what do you have to lose?

I applied! I talked with HR who will talk to ETL-AP to schedule an interview with me. She informed me that the interview will be like the interview I had when I first joined, but with a TPS focus and I can brag and whatnot about *amazing* stuff I've done. So I'm just wondering if anyone who has been through the interview has any tips.

talk about things you have done to help eliminate shrink, asking CIHYFS, using the empty package system, things of that nature
