I rescheduled my Walmart orientation!!! I need advice?

[Anonymous]

Ok so I got a call from Walmart hiring manager saying that I had orientation Thursday but I told her that I have a very very important doctor's appointment and she said that there is another orientation next week & that she would give me a call this Friday with more details on what time to show up. Normally I never reschedule anything & now... I'm freaking out. What if she doesn't give me a call :( does this messes up my image & job offer :/ will they give my job to someone else. Has anyone been in a similar situation?

Usually this won't hurt your chances on a job , being you were forthcoming with her about your situation early. Had you told her you would be there and then had to call back and reschedual or just not shown up that would be much worse. Will you get the job that they had in mind for you that's something of a gray area , who really knows

Wait a bit longer for her to get back to you, and if you haven't heard by tomorrow (Friday) then call back or even just head back to the store and ask to speak with her. Be proactive... it'll show that you're serious about the job and should give a good early impression.

So did you hear back yet?

Yes! I actually called her back & scheduled for Thursday, I didn't wanna wait til Tuesday

you probably lost points for that.

If you're attending orientation, then I assume you already were offered a position and accepted, and passed a background check/drug test.

You're fine. You'll probably get shit for it, but your job is probably secure. They just spent way too much money on you to throw it away that quick.

She'll give you a call. Don't worry. Walmart employees are like fry cooks at McDonald's - they come and go all the time.

Yeah you probably got the job. If you're in trouble for that, who cares it's wal mart.

She said she would call didn't she? Just have a little faith.
