I've been working at Sears for a month now. I like it. My job title is MCA (or MPA depending on who you ask), which stands for Merchandising and Customer Associate. And the P stands for Pricing. Essentially my job duties include helping customers, organizing racks and tables and stands, putting out stock, taking backstock into the warehouse. Locating stock that we don't yet have room for. Cleaning fitting rooms, moving things from regular price to clearance.
It seems easy and I guess it is. I just had to learn how to use the SNC machine that tags and locates things. And how to read the tags on clothes. All of those weird number and letter combinations mean something. The biggest part of my job is organizing. Whether it be new stuff, stuff already on the floor, or stuff being taken off...it had to be organized. And let me tell you, that is my forte. I quite enjoy it.
When I got hired, the HR lady told me that Sears was a good place to work. I figured she had to say that. But she was right. For the most part, I like all of the people I work with. There's a little bit of a rift between management and associates, but I figure that is everywhere. There's no drama amongst the people in my department, nor any lazy people or slackers.
I'm hoping and praying that this job turns into more than a seasonal job. It's a small chance, but it's possible. My manager says that I have a good chance, and that I'm good at my job.
It seems odd, I know. I have a college degree. In Child and Family Studies. And I'm satisfied with a job in retail. But I've never really put great emphasis on having a good job. I think a job shouldn't be a big part of someone's life. The biggest part should be God. Doing His work. Not earthly work. As long as I'm happy and can pay the bills, I'm satisfied with my job.
I've realized that right now is the happiest time of my life. I like my job. I have great friends. A wonderful magnificent boyfriend. I just love life. And I'm looking forward to the future...whatever may come.
2011 may have begun on a sour note, but it won't end that way. :-) I'm quite happy where God had placed me.
