Looking for "low low prices" and want to stop in and
say "Hello?" No problem! I work at Walmart
in the St. Louis area, and really like my job.
I really enjoy interacting with people, and have made many
friends over the 10 (my work anniversary is July 20th,
the same
day as the moon landing) years that I've been working at Walmart.
I work in the General Merchandise section, which focuses on
putting new product on the shelves, and also putting back what
you the customer leave in the wrong place. Our store
recently started carrying food items (kind of like a "mini
Super Walmart"), and that changeover has been pretty
smooth.

I also was lucky
enough to be selected as a model for the Walmart advertisement
papers, and on their website
as well. I got to have my picture featured with some
clothes that we carry, as was my
husband,
Mike, who was a model
for pants in the Walmart ads and
website.
I hope to have the chance to do the modeling more, because I
love clothes, and really enjoyed working with people that make
advertisements. For those of you considering a job, I
recommend Walmart, with just a few reservations. The
managers at stores like Walmart are only there for a short
time. That means if you get to liking them, it's a
short-lived situation, because there will be someone else coming
in that may or may not be to your liking. That also means
(for me anyway) that while one management team may understand
how to deal with Deaf people, the next one that comes in may
not. That has happened a couple of times, and so the part
about them staying for a short time has actually worked out
well. The benefits are really good, and there are all
kinds of extra programs, that really help compliment my husbands
existing insurance.
I also get discounts, and they are very regular about
giving out extra coupons during the holidays for even
larger purchases. It's also great to be part of a
team and Walmart is one of the largest teams there
is in business today. I am happy to report that I
have finally been transferred to the Walmart closer to my
home. It's been a long time coming but we are very
thankful for the shorter trip time and increase in monthly
income. If you're looking for a job, I recommend
contacting Walmart. |

I am very happy and meeting many new people (who
have come to my website to visit! Hello!)
and am very happy I was able to finally be transferred.

We have lots of fun, and are happy to share with family
