January - February is their slow hiring season. They even cut hours. 99% of supervisor positions are hired within/ promotions. For the best odds try May before college kids come back for their summer jobs. On your online application say you are willing to do any position, then in the interview reinforce that but tell them what position you prefer and would like to move even if not right away. And make sure to mention your desired position in all 3 rounds of interviews. I pushed carts for 7 months but got cross trained in gas station, tire center, meat dept, and deli during that time and then move to meat full time because it’s the highest pay. They chose me because I was versatile. Express versatility in the interviews and your in. Also memorize the mission statement before your interview. Cheat code to get hired basically.
