I'm struggling with a work issue, and I'm not really sure what to do.
My sister is thinking seriously about leaving her job at Target. She asked me to see what she would need to go to get interviewed where I work. I went to Human Resources and that said she just needs to come down and fill out an application. They are actively hiring right now, so if she pursued it, I think it's a safe bet she would get hired.
Of course, that would make someone ask, "So what's the problem?" There as a couple of issues to consider.
First of all, the work is very physically demanding. Packing work is not difficult in itself, but the environment takes a lot out of you. It's very hot, often over 100 degrees, especially in the now-approaching summer months. Also, the is the constant noise of large machinery all day long. It rarely stops, if ever. If my sister interviews, they'll take her out onto the warehouse floor and she'll see what it's like.
Secondly, I feel kind of conflicted about referring someone to a job that I do and don't particularly like. I have already said that I would quit at the first opportunity, I've begun seeing what other jobs are available, and I have people paring for me that God might lead me elsewhere. I like my job sometimes, and sometimes I absolutely hate it. Never have I ever loved it. If and when I leave this place, it's safe to say that I will be with few tears, if any. The best things I can say about it are that it's close to home and it pays the bills. It's not rewarding and it's not anything out of which I'd want to make a career.
I pray that I would be honest with my sister in answering any of her questions, I pray that I would be patient on The Lord as I seek another job, and I pray that. He would draw near to my sister, that she would draw near to Him.
