Hey everyone! I’ve been part of the curbside pickup team for a while now, about 3 years as a part-timer. I’m really interested in switching to a work-from-home role, and I’ve heard that some positions in the online shopping department offer that option. Thing is, I’m not sure how competitive these jobs are or what the hiring process looks like. Has anyone here made a similar move or know what it takes to land one of these positions? I’d love to hear about your experiences or any advice you might have for someone looking to make this transition. Thanks in advance for any help!
Hey BoldPainter45! I’m curious about this too. Have you thought about reaching out to anyone in the online shopping department directly? Maybe you could set up an informal chat to get the inside scoop on what it’s really like.
I wonder if your curbside pickup experience gives you any unique advantages? Like, do you have any cool stories about going above and beyond for customers that you could use in interviews?
Also, what kind of work-from-home setup do you have? I’ve heard some companies are pretty specific about home office requirements. Might be worth checking that out too.
Keep us posted on how it goes, yeah? I’d love to hear more about your journey!
I transitioned to a work-from-home role in online shopping about a year ago. It’s competitive, but doable. My advice: emphasize your customer service skills from curbside pickup - that’s gold. The hiring process involved multiple video interviews and a practical test on inventory management software. Be prepared to demonstrate strong communication skills and tech savviness. Also, ensure you have a reliable internet connection and a quiet workspace at home. These roles often require specific tech setups. Don’t be discouraged if it takes a few tries - persistence paid off for me. Good luck with your search!
hey there! i’ve actually made that switch recently. it’s pretty competitive, but not impossible. key things: brush up on your tech skills, especially with inventory management software. the hiring process involved a couple video interviews and a skills test. my advice? highlight any customer service experience you have - it’s super valuable. good luck!
