Hey helpful people,
So, I'm thinking of trying to move halfway across the country. How do I go about letting Target I want to transfer? I am, ironically enough, an HR team member. I started as a cashier in October, went up to HR in May (I obviously don't feel 100% trained yet if I don't know the answer to this question...), but now have an opportunity to move that I really want to take. Should I personally look for positions at Target stores near where I'm moving and apply for them? Or should I just let my ETL know that I want to transfer, and then we work together from there? Basically, I wasn't sure if 1) I should wait until I have another position lined up to let them know I want to leave, so that they don't hate me while I'm still here and looking for other jobs, or 2) if I should let them know ASAP so that they can help me and have a little bit more notice.
I know HR positions are a relatively scarce, so I'm not necessarily deadset on getting that wherever I go. If I go to the salesfloor/backroom/god-forbid-cashiering-again/etc., do I get to keep my current pay? I'm guessing not, but figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.
I have a bachelor's degree, and my TL's/ETL's have all liked me, so I don't think I should run into any trouble transferring. Are there any unexpected hitches I might hit, though, or should I have any trouble? Any thoughts in general about transferring that I haven't really hit on and should be aware of? I was aiming for a TL position at my current store that ETLs had said I could get relatively soon(ish), and am a little afraid about restarting at the bottom of the totem pole at a new store. I'm guessing it's not really common to transfer up a position, but could it happen?
Please let me know if you feel like you need any more info to adequately answer my question. I know it's a bit lengthy, but I think the answers will be fairly concise. Appreciate anyone who takes the time to let me know!
