Getting a Job Transfer

I'm looking at going the other way but its not working right now. I'm looking at transferring from River Island in Brum to back home until Oct and then back again. I thought my manager would've done the ringing around for me but she hasn't and I had to ask. I think if they have vacancies then that's when the managers get in touch but I'm not sure. I was told to quit here if I wanted to go home and then re-apply there. Pot luck basically.

Are you like us where different members of staff are trained to do different things? I'm trained to put out unwanted fitting room stuff and back at home they want someone whose till trained. So its not working out. It might depend on that as well.

You sound like you stand a better chance of getting a transfer than I do Hope it goes ok.

Thanks alot, you too! I was curious as to why you only get trained in a specific area?

I work in Waitrose, and I know they offer store transfers but they are usually arranged by the branch personell managers of the two stores, rather than the person moving.
Its quite normal for a manager to call up other branches and put in a good work in lots of chains I think.
