So, I have recently started at my local Kroger and I have seen a posting for the Little Clinic that fits my prior job duties better than my current job. Don't get me wrong, I love my job, but familiarity and more hours/pay would benefit me at this time and when originally interviewed, I campaigned for a pharmacy position, just because no positions were available within TLC.
How long must incumbents be in a current position before displaying interest in furthering themselves within the company?
I had direct contact with patients involving scheduling, billing/account set-up, collections, calling in prescriptions, verifying insurance eligibility, using electronic health records and databases and general medical office staff job responsibilities and etiquette. I also have the skill set of working with various medical specialists and a broader knowledge of medical terminology than what is used by the typical Pharmacy Technician. I am currently enrolled in college with a health information management program and I feel that I could put that to better use at TLC.
There's no hard and fast rule... show an interest! The worst you can be told is 'no'! I'd express interest to the manager of that department, just a quick, hey this sounds like an exciting opportunity... along those lines.
