Got hired today as general merchandise !! how you should the job duty is really simple , hopefully my OCD dont kick in too much haha

[@melik5455]

yay gdod luck

[@alyssamarie0159]

good luck !! it definitely triggered my OCD 😂😂😂 I’m glad I could fix the shelves up

[@tyreeseoverton6512]

You should do a video on the best jobs you have had and what you recommend for getting jobs and working in general❤❤❤

[@tyreeseoverton6512]

As always video was 🔥

[@alyssamarie0159]

Thank youuu , ❤️ & I actually like this idea

[@alyssamarie0159]

WE HIT 5K VIEWS!! 🥲🎉🎉 THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYSSSS 💕💕

[@bxbyzgirl3924]

Girl ik im so late 🤣 but I start training tomorrow as general merchandise (also closer) and this was sooo helpful. Any additional tips or advice? I’m so nervous to use the zebras I’ve never worked retail before

[@alyssamarie0159]

I’m glad my video helped 🩵 the zebra is easy to catch onto so don’t worry about using it. You’ll get used to using it very fast within your first few days because you’ll use it so much 😂. As for tips I would say not to rush if you aren’t on a time limit because I would clean and stock reshop so fast & be sooo bored 😭 also customers might get on your nerves sometimes because you’ll clean/organize something and it’d be messed up within a few mins but that’s just apart of the job. Good luck! 🫶🏼🩷

@@alyssamarie0159as a closer were you given one department to work in?

[@brookD1980]

Do you work during Christmas season also? I just got hired to work 5-close as a closing expert and wondering if they generally offer more hours in this position during holidays. Thank you! :)

[@alyssamarie0159]

Yes they definitely give more hours around holidays. I worked there during Christmas season lol and they scheduled me like 6 days in a row it was horrible.

[@kamaal50762]

For those who dont like interacting with guest or others where would you suggest them to work?

[@alyssamarie0159]

There isn’t a lot of guest interaction but people will most likely ask you where something is, that’s it.

[@alyssamarie0159]

Yayy congrats !! & yeah it def was a lot to remember

[@RaquelNavas]

I just got the rejection email from target 😢 a few minutes ago

[@alyssamarie0159]

I'm not giving up I just submitted a second job application. Hopefully they will see it this time

@@RaquelNavas I spam applied to over ten stores and got called back by four and offered a job by one, so make sure you apply to every store in your area

Yes

[@deniidepaula10]

is it General Merchandise Team Leader? i saw on indeed

[@alyssamarie0159]

No, it’s just general merchandise. Team leader is a manager position.

[@ilsegomez8087]

I will apply soon, however I don't want to do cashier just stocking is this part of it?

[@alyssamarie0159]

No there isn’t any cashiering.

[@brookD1980]

What discount do you get at Starbucks In target? Thanks!

[@alyssamarie0159]

Hey! I didn’t get any discount for Starbucks unfortunately.

[@alondragarcia-p5v]

Hii, i actually just got hired as a closing expert and this would be my first job. I'm super nervous. Is this job chill? How would u recommend it?

[@alyssamarie0159]

congrats !! getting your first job is def nerve wracking but this job was really chill & I do recommend it ! It isn’t hard at all so you’ll adjust quickly. Good luck!

[@duckymomo6432]

what did you do as a closing expert?

[@tjking6494]

Im nervous for my first day tomorrow

[@alyssamarie0159]

how did it go ?

[@kesihashanta7503]

is the position only afternoon shift

[@wspxzae]

intro song lovely

[@ournewchapter06]

As a General merchandiser did you only pull and push items along with zoning and back stocking? Did you ever have to do pogs etc...?pogs

[@alyssamarie0159]

No I didn’t have to do pogs! As a merchandiser we just put reshop back on the correct shelf and made sure the shelves were organized/clean.

[@ceecee6508]

Do you like working here?

[@alyssamarie0159]

Yes! I no longer work here because I was a seasonal employee but I did enjoy it.

[@Kmrudn]

Would this position be good for 16yo with school in session but closing times?

[@Vestean]

it’s a lot harder getting hired when you’re under 18 but if you can, absolutely go for it. It’s very simple, you’re just shopping but it does take physical work (climbing ladders, pushing vehicles, walking, carrying things, etc.)

[@alyssamarie0159]

i wouldn't recommend closing times if you're a student.

[@Jenny-xs4lq]

Hello is General Merchandise Expert is it the same as your position in the video or what does that position involve doing? & is there cashiering involved cuz I’m worried about that🙃

[@alyssamarie0159]

General merchandise involves stocking and some reshopping. There isn’t any cashiering so you don’t have to worry about that unless your store trains you for whenever it’s busy but that’s unlikely.

[@vannah8580]

Wait so this position is basically just stocking ?

[@alyssamarie0159]

Yeah, basically stocking reshop and making sure the shelves are organized and clean.

[@vannah8580]

@@alyssamarie0159 ohhh thank you !

[@Swiiftfox]

Well thank you for the explanation. I just did my interview today for target so hopefully 🤞 I can get the job at target. Thank you for the video n the experience working at target.

[@alyssamarie0159]

I’m glad my video helped ! Good luck & come back to update!

[@kayladixon904]

I wanted to ask I got hired like 3 days ago and wanted to know if you could wear anything as long as it’s red ? Even if it has writing on it ? I wasn’t sure if my store could be different or not

[@alyssamarie0159]

Yes you can wear any shirt/hoodie as long as it’s red and maroon counts as well. Any jean color or khaki pants.

[@ThroatAcid]

Did you ever get stuck on register?

[@kevn1k472]

What’s the “Register”

[@notzoe333]

@@kevn1k472 cashiering

[@alyssamarie0159]

No, they never put me on register. They did say we were supposed to get cross trained but they never had time to do it. I think it’ll depend on the store.

[@ceecee6508]

Is this the best department?

[@alyssamarie0159]

I only worked in this department so I can’t speak for others but this position was very chill. Anything is better than cashier lol. Customers didn’t bother that much either.

How long were your hours as a general merchandise expert closing ?

[@alyssamarie0159]

8 hour shifts, 5 days a week so 40 hrs total. When I first started they were like 5-6 hours.

[@audeo9542]

Would this job get lonely or boring

[@alyssamarie0159]

I wouldn’t say lonely but you’re definitely working by yourself most of the time. I get bored of things when they’re repetitive lol, so I would say it was boring only because I wish they switched up departments once in a while for us to zone.

Do you have a experience with style consultant? How long were there shifts?

No I don’t, sorry.
