    i just got a job at target literally today im kinda nervous for orientation lol. The whole process was rather quick for me though i applied once got an email in 2 days then had the hirevue the next day then 2 days later an in person interview. I applied for seasonal cashier ending up getting a full time permanent job in fashion ig im lucky but defiantly try to apply the money is good and im sure it will look good on your resume .

    Back in the day ( pre covid), I would sent the application and then call the store right away. It shows dedication. Had 2 interviews on the same day, and got hired. It was pretty simple.
    I was the cart attendant, then the Inbound/ Flow Team. That position requires you to start working at 4AM. With that being said, you can’t have a normal life while working in that position!!

    A seasonal position at Target is both a good and bad thing. Seasonal TMs get taught how to do a lot because management wants to see whether or not they can pick up things quick and do it well. The more you know and the better you do it the more likely you're to stick past the holiday season.

    • @KaitlinSonday

    I got a job as seasonal Fulfillment a month ago and I genuinely enjoyed it and want to continue. During orientation hr told us if we are interested to stay to talk to her about it but I’m very shy and don’t usually build up the courage to talk to her in person :,) I usually email her when I need something but I feel like a nuisance I just don’t know what to dooooo. I feel like this is an important thing to talk to her in person but next Saturday is my last day… (only work weekends)

    Target is the last place you want to work. I applied in 2018 heres what happened. I was scheduled for an interview at 3pm. I arrived at 2:50pm and asked for the hiring manager and the manager at front end said shell be right with you. I was like okay. I waited until 3:30 and asked the front end manager again and they said shes not in the building. I almost waited over an hour. That's unacceptable. I should have left but i needed a job and some money. I barely started college too. Like stop sending people on the run around. They was wasting my time like seriously.

    i applied to target for fun and only did the video interview and got the job lmao. i was hired in on as a seasonal and got kept on as a permanent!
    i work in the style department and i’m sure this is the same for every department besides cashiering or starbucks but be prepared to get a lot of info thrown at you. it is a little overwhelming but after a while you get the hang of it. it is very fast pace depending on what your department is and what time you’re working. i used to do early mornings and those shifts go by fast because they give you one project to do for your entire shift and you have to problem solve and quickly finish your task/time manage. evening shifts are more chill in style because you’re just zoning (basically making the floor look nice: folding, straightening hangars, etc) your areas for 5 hours which can feel like forever but super chill.

    @TheWileycyote95 3 года назад +1

    Le me help you with this. If you apply to Target and don’t get the job, then fuck them, go work at Walmart, or whatever, it ain’t that serious. If you can’t work on weekends then you better have a damn good reason why you can’t. Target does want reliable employees,, which all jobs do, but don’t take it too seriously. After all, it’s just Target!!
    Also, if you’re going away to school and you still want to keep your job, you can either go on a leave of absence, or transfer to another store. For transferring, I would recommend being in good standing at your current store. Also, if your HR ETL from your o/g store says that they can’t take you back, that’s bullshit, and they are fuckin liars (I’ve transferred from stores multiple times). Trust me, I worked at Target for 2 years, and as of now has been my longest tenured job to date.

    • @KaitlinSonday
      @KaitlinSonday  3 года назад

      Agreed! Or honestly just keep applying cuz they pay the best that I’ve seen compared to other places! And yes that is so convenient that you can keep your job that way! Just keep a good standing like you mentioned since I’ve seen people not be able to cuz of bad attendance, calling in, etc!
