Best part of working for Publix
Seeing proof every day that a huge company can still be a family when its leaders remain focused on the customer and on the value of every worker's contribution.

Best part of my role here
The variety. One minute, I'm focusing on our IT staffing needs and the next I'm working on innovative strategies to attract more Gen Ys to apply for store positions. Then there are the management searches, the focus groups, the website upgrades and the stimulating brainstorm sessions on the latest recruiting technologies. Keeping 143,000 positions filled with talented people is a blast!

Tip for job candidates
Write cover letters that specifically address how you meet both the required and preferred qualifications for a position. And be honest!
