      @@ethangoldman7266 I had interviews at 2 different Targets. First one I had 2 separate interviews at that same target in person. They will ask you scenario questions such as: When was time you was dealing with a difficult customer or employee or when was a time you had to rearrange you daily routine and ect. The 2 interviews basically ask the same questions but the second one was asking about your availability. They said they would email me with 48 hours but they never did. Luckily I another an interview for another target. But I only had 1 interview here and got the job on the spot. You would need to bring a red shirt, jean's, and closed toe shoes for your first day. And during these times you would need to wear a mask. I'm pretty sure all Targers start at $15 per hour.

    Had an interview today at target, literally lasted like 20 mins. I got the job though! I applied for cashier so here are just three questions he asked me:
    1. How would you deal with an unhappy customer?
    2. I totally forgot what he asked me.
    3. What would you say to a customer that looks like he is in a rush and has cake mix?
    Basically what you want to answer if you’re applying for a cashier is that you ALWAYS want to communicate with customers, make small talk anything that would make the customer come back and leave satisfied and feel comfortable!

    Veteran worker here…. It always depends on the management. I have had both an amazing experience with the literal best team, and ended at the worst running store with only one boss I actually enjoyed and half the of the team members leaving behind me. It’s all about the management. I regret transferring to my last store but it taught me that I am worth more and needed to work in an environment similar to my first store. Tip #1 for finding the perfect store, know your worth and establish respect. You can tell very quickly if you will be appreciated or not.

      @@lexyreds3443 I like it, 0 complaints from me. As gm we deal with making the aisles look nice and presentable(zoning). We deal with a lot of guests(customers), we also do cashier ONLY when called for. And we stock shelfs(pushing truck), and bring items from the front that guest don't want(pushing reshop). We also cover for eachothers breaks a lot. GM is really people oriented so be mindfull of that. Aaand think thats bout it, if you have any more questions just let me know ;)

      Eggy Erin It was pretty long, like a little over an hour( usually other jobs are like 10-15 min in my experience). Had three people interview me for like 10 min with waiting time 15-20 min in between. All of them were pretty nice. Most of the questions are situational, so they just ask what you would do in a situation or what you did in a situation before. I asked one of the interviewers a few questions and she said she loves when interviewees do that

Figured I’d go with the flow since they liked that I wanted to do FT hours. Ended up getting only 15-20hrs and was constantly trying to get more hours. It was more trouble than it was worth. They never staff correctly either so lots of late nights. Also my first day, I was giving no details on who’s train me and where to go 🙂

    I currently work at target and like what was said in the video all managers and leads are different and all stores operate differently but guys I’ve only been there 6 months and I feel that they overwork you. Mind you I work the truck in the morning at 4 am and my scheduled shift is 6.5 hours. The truck takes at least for my store 2-4 hours depending on volume. Then they expect me to do 8 hours worth of work within the last hours, while everyone who comes in later gets all day to do their work and the managers get mad if or when I don’t finish my work. I have been there only 6 months but since my 3rd month I’ve been looking for another job. Please research the target you are applying/interviewing for and reviews so you know more or less how that store operates. Not saying it will be bad for everyone but be prepared to work extra hard

    I just started working at Target. I just had my first shift a couple of days ago. I’m supposed to be working in the fulfillment department, but honestly the first day of training was very overwhelming. Tons of walking and looking for different items in different places, including the back room. I also packaged items to be shipped. Would it make myself look bad if I asked for a different job/department? I feel like I would be more comfortable just working in 1 area. Or should I just stick to what was given to me? I feel like it’s too soon to talk to my team leader. Any advice would be so great!

    For the "stylist" department do you have to be a certain age, someone with work experience? Or do you have to work at a certain department before you can work there? Also how would you ask?

    • @lifeofmeili
      @lifeofmeili  4 года назад +11

      age requirements are the same as other departments! so in my state that is 16. And nope, you can start in the styling department! Just ask if they have job openings for that position/apply online :)

      @@edwardpena9129 Retail has such high turnover. Only a small fraction of people will ever see a raise or especially a promotion. It's also based on favoritism, not how hard you work. Actually, the hard workers are less likely to be promoted at these type of jobs, because then the manager will have to find someone to replace you. This is why these are called dead end jobs.
