June - August 2018 • Foothill Ranch, CA

What I liked

The job was very structured in the sense that employers were given specific instructions and projects to work on either individually or with other team members. There was always something to do

What I wish was different

Advice

Patience is a virtue! Customers would often ask seemingly silly or obvious questions, but it was important to be patient and help them with a smile on your face.

Target Store Executive Intern

May - July 2018 • Fresno, CA

What I liked

The internship provided a great insight into how the professional is, especially in business, and grew me professionally, personally, and spiritually. I was put into real-world situations with employees and managers developed managerial and leadership skills. I was pushed to apply my understanding of leadership and to grow the potential of the team I was over.

What I wish was different

Nothing. The internship wasn't perfect but it did teach me about myself, about the operations of Target, and better prepared me for what's to come professionally in my future.

Advice

Be prepared to be wrong and to face adversity. It's not an easy experience, but you can make it less complicated than it is. Coming in with a growth-mindset and creating a reputation of always wanting to learn and humility will allow you to overcome the hard parts of this internship. An employer wants to see you be diligent and see if they can work alongside you.

Consumables Logistics

May - August 2018 • Plano, TX

What I liked

The Target workplace is a vast number of people working at all times, doing different things. Although there was not much time to acquaint with coworkers in other departments, the consumables employees helped me get into the groove in a friendly, timely manner. Overall Target was one of my most enjoyable work experiences yet.

What I wish was different

The only complaint I had was working 2 am shifts, but that's just what the job entails when you're having to work the freight out onto the store floor.

Advice

If you're working at a Super Target in a good area, be prepared to work often and effectively. The amount of freight that Target gets in on the daily is astonishing.

What I wish was different

To have more involvement in making the place a great space for all employees to be creative and have fun.

Executive Intern

June - August 2018 • Mount Vernon, NY

What I liked

I enjoyed the ability to apply my classroom knowledge to a real life experience. It was different than an office job, which placed me outside of my comfort zone and challenged me to learn faster, manage a wider range of personalities, and navigate sticky situations with tact.

What I wish was different

I do wish I was able to have a more independent experience. The majority of the summer was spent shadowing, which I feel didn't allow me to bloom on my own. Though I created projects of my own, progress was quickly overwritten as it is a retail store - guests move things about, and the floorplan is constantly changing. Further, I feel there wasn't a consistent sense of direction, although a schedule was provided.

Advice

Go in with an open mind, and don't let the type of work weigh on you. Learn as much as you can. Who knows? You may find you love it.

Sales Floor Team Member - Hardlines

May 2018 • Northfield, MN

What I liked

I like the fast-paced, interactive and friendly work environment and opportunities to work on a variety of different mini-projects (i.e. price change, presentation/sales plans). The store executive and team leaders are very supportive and encouraging. Flexible hours.

What I wish was different

It would be nice to have more team leaders across all departments.

Advice

Be outgoing and engage with Target Guests! One thing Target offers that online shopping doesn't is face-to-face guest service, and you are encouraged to interact with guests often to increase sales. Have a can-do attitude.
