Soul.Charisma that’s good , I’m still waiting for a call back , did you do an in store interview or online ?

[@Beau.Official]

@@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.

[@citlallymerlo7571]

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!

Sometimes it just depends what they’re looking for in availability. Try calling HR and asking if they know which locations are hiring because you would like to work there.

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.

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

@@N60656 of course it's actually a very simple job :) basically what you do is your assigned a section or sections like sports areas or toys, then you fix it up and make it look nice and make sure everything is in the right spot. Then you go in the back and look on a phone they give you and look up what is needed and you grab the items on a cart then take them out and stock them on shelves. It takes a whole shift and it's very simple and easygoing.

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]

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 :)

I just applied to 3 different Targets today! I really hope I’m offered an interview 😭

[@picklesillumanti1467]

Did u receive any word so far? Any interviews ?

[@athomewithus6614]

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!

[@juana8309]

[@kristen5933]

I started my orientation today for a seasonal cashier and all went well, everyone was nice. Only thing that’s worrisome is they only put me on for two days of training then they said on the weekends I will be the only cashier on. Did they do this to you?? It makes me nervous af with the holidays coming up and it’s already super busy.

We're a city that totally revolves around our universities, and stores get slammed most in the evenings, especially late Saturday nights (since most people here in Utah think it's evil to shop on Sunday). We're also a ghost town in the summer, so everything is slower and more chill. Such things just depend on demographics.

question /i need advice : i have an interview in 2 days and this would be my first job so i have no previous work experience ? how would you answer if they asked about previous work experience?

[@lifeofmeili]

I would be honest and say I don't have prior work experience, but then talk about my past accomplishments that have helped me develop people skills + good skills for the job! for example, high school clubs, volunteering/community service, etc! They'll understand if you don't have prior work experience, I was in the same situation when I first started working at Target. They just want to see that you have experience working with others, and are excited + willing to learn the skills to be a good employee!

9:20 academics call this emotional labour. Never forget, your paycheck is not related to how hard you work. Some of the lowest paid workers work the hardest in the entire economy.

[@edwardpena9129]

But the harder you work related to your growth within the company

[@jessicah3450]

@@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.

So, I applied over 2 weeks ago today and I called for an update Wednesday, she asked for my name, she pulled up the application, then asked my availability. I said 5pm during school days to store closing and during the summer I can do anything. She said “Gm’s usually come at 4pm but we can worry about that once august comes” (we start school in august) She was SUPER nice!

About your breaks... I think it’s probably a state law. I live in Florida (I don’t work at target) and here the rule is that minors cannot legally work more than 4 hours without a 30 minute (unpaid) break. So that’s probably why your bosses were pretty strict about that.

As someone who is going from working at Chick-Fil-A to considering Target, oooo, I empathize with so much already. Regarding the fake smiles, the handling cash registers (although I work in kitchen, I helped up front as well when needed), the customers becoming frustrating or even degrading. I see CFA as the "goody-two-shoes of the fast food franchises" and Target is the equivalent, but in the store way... ya know?
