I think having your availability open is super important! It’s good to have workers who have availability open especially during the Christmas time, holidays, & weekends! Thank you for these very helpful tips.❤️
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!!
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 .
This is amazing! because you are sooo right a lot of people need jobs right now or even just an extra job to make extra money and these tips are so helpful the main thing people struggle with is the interview process and lasting the first 60 days!!!
This is so thoughtful of you to share these tips, I’m sure especially prospective applicants find this information helpful, it’s good that they sometimes keep seasonal workers after the season ends
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.
This is really helpful for people who want to work in retail. Companies like this are obviously pandemic-proof as they sell essential items so it’s great to get a job there specially nowadays.
These are some great tips . Love that you made this video and willing to share your thoughts and tips for those looking for new jobs or even those looking for their first jobs
Hun you deserve $15 an hour, at least in The Netherlands that's how we think and what we think is normal. Living expenses in the US are high anyways, so you deserve it even if someone would still live it home, you are worth it! Take care!
Hey just wanna say I scoped your videos and think it's really amazing and cute how much you love Target! I just became a software engineer at Target and super excited to start. I love the atmosphere and people alike.
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)
I swear people would have 10+ years of experience in retail and still get rejected from Target lol On another note I submitted my application around a month ago but two weeks later I got my rejection email. I’m really tempted to apply again!
DUDE FOR REAL. It really makes me sad. I have had so many friends apply and I know they would ACTUALLY show up to work while they hire all these people who keep calling in😩 And do it! I had to apply 3 times and my boyfriend 2 times!
@@KaitlinSonday I had over 10 years of experience got rejected from Little Caesars and Walmart but somehow got hired at Target on spot. One would think getting hired at Walmart and Little Caesars would be a lot easier than Target.
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.
That's amazing! So lucky! LOL. That is soo true! I feel like on the floor is the better jobs! I love the beauty section since it isn't super crazy! Thanks for sharing your experience! That helps a lot!
This was very good video especially when you gave great tips for retail. I personally no longer love to work retail, although I used to before lol 😄 This will be a very helpful video to so many people!
@@KaitlinSonday targets give u a discount what u be buying up there i did a application for targets for inbound stock clerk they accepted me for a video interview can't do one on one interview due to the virus going around
@@QBryant14 yup they do and that’s good! That’s actually a very good sign and typically people usually make it once they get that far! There typically is two interviews, one video and then a call!
i called before i applied to check which departments they needed people in, and they said to check online for what’s available. i did and applied for those ones, and then they emailed within 2 days that they have no openings. what do you recommend i do from here?
apply to a different location. 4 target locations in my city had openings allegedly but 2 told me that they didn't need me and one emailed me back for an interview.
Update: the other Target also rejected me and the one that asked for an online interview later told me they didn't need me. Definitely fits their reputation of never hiring anyone
@@douba_plusa oh no i’m so sorry! i only have one in a reasonable distance from me and i was considering applying to one a little farther but i’m thinking i shouldn’t bother
@@lkc7346 I think you should still try ! they have to hire somebody haha. And it’s all good, the rejections were kind of good because I can focus on some other important stuff going on in my life rn
lol i filled out a application last week, i literally got a call from the manager 10 minutes later. i did an online interview, got hired and my orientation day is january 8th. my position is closing expert, im excited
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 the beauty section back home and even after I graduated college just cuz I didn't work for my 2 years in University. But didn't get it. Oh well. It wasn't for me I guess. I applied to my current job, the manager called me a few hours later asking if i could go in the next day for an interview, had a second interview 2 or 3 days later with another manager, started 3 days later & got moved up to assistant director in 11 months (10 if you count the month we were closed for covid)
I'm not sure if you can help, but on my application, it has a question saying, "What is the latest time you can work on Sundays?" Can you explain what the question is asking about latest time? The question before that says earliest time.
Thanks for these tips! I turned 16 9 days ago and applied for target but only cashier! I didn’t get it though sadly however I am going to apply again and apply for each department such as beauty cashier and everything else! Thanks for the tips!
once you’re accepted into one position, can you switch to another department/position if you wanted? are they that flexible? also i had a virtual interview through hirevue today!!! really hoping i get it
This is really good helpful tips I mentor kids who are looking for jobs so this would be helpful for those wanting to work at target thanks for the great tips
I’m a high schooler who just filled out an application! I realized after that I signed up to commit to my schedule for 90 days but summer doesn’t even last 90 days from now? Do you think this could count against me? :(
So, I applied 2 weeks ago today and I called for an update two days ago, 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! And after that she said she’ll answer by the end of the week and to check my email. It’s currently Friday, and nothing :/ if the application isn’t accepted, do we get notified?
I applied for few positions in Target for different locations. I created my profile and then I had to take an assessment for 20 min and 15 min. I didn’t see option for recording a video or online interview. Out of all I got a call from HR in the same day for Barista position. I have interview soon 😅
Is the video interview automated? Or do you have to be chosen for the interview? I just submitted my interview video last night and am hoping to hear soon! I’m from Nebraska too! ☺️
I applied for Outbound stocking in 2021 and my response came back as SORRY BUT WE DID NOT SEE YOU AS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR THE JOB POSITION. "Bummer" I said to myself. Then I applied again this year in early February for cashier and my application came back and same thing: I got rejected. Target is so confusing and I've watched a lot of Target Tips Job for Applying and none worked for me.
Would they hire somebody who’s 15 1/2 ?? I’m extremely available and have fantastic people skills, & I learn reaally fast. google says they hire at 16 but I’ve seen people say they got hired at 15 1/2, so I’m very curious
These were some great tips! I don't know why but I hate it when I have to do an online interview in which I have to record myself ahah, I think availability is very important in retail jobs!
Hey I was wondering if you get hired they can wait for you around 2 weeks to start? im currently employed and if I end up hired I would like to put my 2 week notice before starting at target. Do you think they would mind that?
Im not sure if you still reply to these comments, this is actually my first week working at target and i got hired for tech. For some reason my first day I was at tech for two hours maybe and the rest of the week they have me working GM closing?? I for sure didn’t apply for that and wasn’t told anything about it ever. I want to talk to them because i definitely don’t want to do that position and want to do the position I got hired for. I don’t want to do too much because i legit just started. Any advice on how I should bring it up?
Its sad that we think $15 an hour is good especially when they take a ton of taxes out. Take home pay is still very low for what you do in retail. They work on skeleton crews.
I am not for sure! I’m sure if you are going o be here for awhile or do a season position you could! That would have to be someone you call them and ask about!
Hi Kaitlyn 👋🏻 so I did applied and I got my virtual interview and stuff. How long do I have to wait for them to view it? also I saw that Im i to general merchandise team member. What are the pros and cons to it? Thank you so much!
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.
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!
i just got an email from target wanting me to do a video interview! My only question is do they pay all their workers time and a half on sundays, even if they dont work over 40 hours? im currently working at walgreens and they are paying me overtime when i work on sundays, wheter or not i worked more than 40 hours that week !! im 16 btw
That’s awesome! And no target typically doesn’t like overtime and on Sundays it’s just normal pay! They don’t do anything like that! You only get time and a half on holidays that we are open!
@@KaitlinSonday for some reason I’ve already applied to target 3 times in 5 years and they jeep rejecting me I don’t know why. I literally have experience in customer service, cashier and retail. I applied as a guest advocate can you please tell me like what am I doing wrong?
i did the hirevue interview and had a follow up interview friday 😭 they said they’ll have hr call me, should i call them if i dont hear anything for a few days? i was thinking to call by wednesday if i dont hear anything
Thank you, I really appreciate and love your content. Your videos help so much. I hope that I'll be a good fit for working at target@@KaitlinSonday 😇 fingers crossed 🤞🏼
Help !! So I put that im available everyday at all times but I didn’t think that they would ask for an Interview so I signed up for summer school 😭 what do I do ?! When or how do I tell them that I’m available from 4-9pm ?! Also I applied for seasonal but I want a full time job cause I need money for college 😩 do you know how that works ?! Can I switch ?! Can I apply for other stores still ?! does your age matter in you want to work in a certain department?!
I would do the interview and then mention how you just signed up for summer classes so you’re open to other positions available in that time frame!! Age doesn’t matter anywhere!
Wait so I applied and got rejected, they said they’d want me to apply again in the future though, but do I have to wait 6 months before applying again ? I need to find a job quickly, the store Im currently at is closing down :(
I know this question to this video is super late but I applied for seasonal Guest Advocate at Target but got a video interview email for the Food Team Member position. Do you know what that is?
So I applied last November of 2021 because I wanted a winter job but I didn't get hired but I just applied again yesterday to work when I'm done with college so I'm hoping to get it this time because I can commit longer.
So I applied to the target near me and got rejected. Once after an interview online and another I just wasn’t considered. I really want to work there. When should I apply again? Should I call them or go inside?
I just got a message from them, they rejected me cause I didn’t have what they were looking for. I’m will yo learn and that’s what I put, they had the poster saying there hiring but no. Should I try again?
@@KaitlinSonday I applied 5 days ago.. I did the interview 2 days ago and this morning I received a call from Target but I missed :( They send me a email for a time to call me back regarding the application and I responded …. I’m still waiting :(( I hope can I get in touch soon.
I have applied 3 times, and got rejected… what are they looking for 😭 do I need to go personally to the store and introduce myself? BECAUSE i WILL I JUST NEED TO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR
@@KaitlinSonday thank you so much! I guess because I work at my school, maybe that’s why they didn’t take me :/, I only work two days at school and only for three hours too :/
When you say work on the floor jobs so is that basically stocking those selves? So if its the beauty dept then stocking that section of the store? Can someone please clarify this for me :)
Great video 👍 I did my HireVue video interview yesterday & got an email today saying I got an invitation to connect with a Target Store Leader. So I’m not sure if that’s a second interview or meaning I got the job. 🤞 So I’ll be speaking to someone tomorrow 😊

I applied for Outbound stocking in 2021 and my response came back as SORRY BUT WE DID NOT SEE YOU AS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR THE JOB POSITION. "Bummer" I said to myself. Then I applied again this year in early February for cashier and my application came back and same thing: I got rejected.
Target is so confusing and I've watched a lot of Target Tips Job for Applying and none worked for me.
Hey, I just applied online and I was wondering if you called and told them you applied? Or did you just apply online and got a response?
It depends! I would apply and sometimes they reply right away but I would also try calling if they didn’t reply in two days!
Hi, I’m 16 years old and have no prior work experience. Should I still submit an application even though I haven’t work before?
I’m looking to get my first job at target, do you think they would be willing to hire someone with no experience (im 16 btw)
Yes! It’s just retail and I didn’t have any retail experience!
Would they hire somebody who’s 15 1/2 ?? I’m extremely available and have fantastic people skills, & I learn reaally fast. google says they hire at 16 but I’ve seen people say they got hired at 15 1/2, so I’m very curious
Is there a dress code at target?????
These were some great tips! I don't know why but I hate it when I have to do an online interview in which I have to record myself ahah, I think availability is very important in retail jobs!
Thank youN and me too it feels so awkward lol
How long did it take them to get back you you after the interview?
Hey I was wondering if you get hired they can wait for you around 2 weeks to start? im currently employed and if I end up hired I would like to put my 2 week notice before starting at target. Do you think they would mind that?
Yes you can say when you are available to work and if you explain to them once you actually get the job it should be fine!
This is so helpful or those needing this! I could never do retail again. So many horror stories. 😅
Hah omg I really haven’t had too many bad experiences so that’s good! Lol
@@KaitlinSonday - Being on a commission based floor for over a decade isn’t easy, but the money is good 😌
I applied, should I go in to the store and introduce myself and make myself known and show I mean business?
Going in won’t do anything! Calling is your best bet!
I just got the rejection email from target 😢 a few minutes ago
Im not sure if you still reply to these comments, this is actually my first week working at target and i got hired for tech. For some reason my first day I was at tech for two hours maybe and the rest of the week they have me working GM closing?? I for sure didn’t apply for that and wasn’t told anything about it ever. I want to talk to them because i definitely don’t want to do that position and want to do the position I got hired for. I don’t want to do too much because i legit just started. Any advice on how I should bring it up?
I would just ask if you’re supposed to be in Tech more! Either your leader or HR!
Its sad that we think $15 an hour is good especially when they take a ton of taxes out. Take home pay is still very low for what you do in retail. They work on skeleton crews.
Can an international student get a job at Target?I would be glad if I get a response from u. Thanks...
I am not for sure! I’m sure if you are going o be here for awhile or do a season position you could! That would have to be someone you call them and ask about!
Hi, I recently started working at target seasonal. I really like it, would you have any suggestions on how to ask to become more than seasonal?
Mention to them you want to stay and can work other departments if there isn’t room in yours!
Hi Kaitlyn 👋🏻 so I did applied and I got my virtual interview and stuff. How long do I have to wait for them to view it? also I saw that Im i to general merchandise team member. What are the pros and cons to it? Thank you so much!
It should be within a week! And depends on what GM area you’ll be in for pros and cons!
did you got the job?
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.
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!
So how is gm and food service. I got the job but is it a good position and what will I most likely be doing. I have orientation on the 29th
That is good too! You can always switch around after awhile too!😊 did you get GM or food service since those are two separate things!
@@KaitlinSonday I’m in food service
Does target hire people who have never had a job
What’s the right thing, when I apply should I put black /African American or leave it empty? I am not African American but African Arabian.
That shouldn't matter! You can put whatever you feel like is best! They don't discriminate !
What should I do after I apply for a position? Thanks for the tips.
I would wait a week and then call them to get an update on your application!
@@KaitlinSonday is it the store phone number or job resources phone number? Sorry.
Right now I have a virtual interview and I'm afraid that I won't do well, I just lost my job at Walmart and I really need this job
Yes you will it’s super simple!
@@KaitlinSonday Thanks 😊
They never hired by me applying online and waiting for email I think I need to call after submitting
Yes try that! And make sure availability is open!😊
Best tip is to not work at target. Rage quit after 3 years there, at $19.71 an hour.
It’s a good job for college and highschool students tho! And for a lot of people! I’m glad you’re making a lot more!
i just got an email from target wanting me to do a video interview! My only question is do they pay all their workers time and a half on sundays, even if they dont work over 40 hours? im currently working at walgreens and they are paying me overtime when i work on sundays, wheter or not i worked more than 40 hours that week !! im 16 btw
That’s awesome! And no target typically doesn’t like overtime and on Sundays it’s just normal pay! They don’t do anything like that! You only get time and a half on holidays that we are open!
@@KaitlinSonday for some reason I’ve already applied to target 3 times in 5 years and they jeep rejecting me I don’t know why. I literally have experience in customer service, cashier and retail. I applied as a guest advocate can you please tell me like what am I doing wrong?
i did the hirevue interview and had a follow up interview friday 😭 they said they’ll have hr call me, should i call them if i dont hear anything for a few days? i was thinking to call by wednesday if i dont hear anything
i’d say call them and ask them for updates!!
Yes I would call and get an update!! Sometimes t he y get busy and might forget to deffs call them Wednesday!
@@KaitlinSonday Thankfully I don’t have to 😭 I received a call today from HR that I got the job!!!!
@@monica-nh6kw congrats!
How long did it take for them to contact you after the hirevue interview?
Hey quick question, what are those people called where they clean, restock and help costumers?
It depends there different departments since every department does that!
Is target good for a first time job? Any tips?
Yess!!
Thank you, I really appreciate and love your content. Your videos help so much. I hope that I'll be a good fit for working at target@@KaitlinSonday 😇 fingers crossed 🤞🏼
Help !! So I put that im available everyday at all times but I didn’t think that they would ask for an Interview so I signed up for summer school 😭 what do I do ?! When or how do I tell them that I’m available from 4-9pm ?! Also I applied for seasonal but I want a full time job cause I need money for college 😩 do you know how that works ?! Can I switch ?! Can I apply for other stores still ?! does your age matter in you want to work in a certain department?!
I would do the interview and then mention how you just signed up for summer classes so you’re open to other positions available in that time frame!! Age doesn’t matter anywhere!
Wait so I applied and got rejected, they said they’d want me to apply again in the future though, but do I have to wait 6 months before applying again ? I need to find a job quickly, the store Im currently at is closing down :(
Oh no! Hmm maybe try applying at another location? I would also try Walmart I know they hire super quick!
I know this question to this video is super late but I applied for seasonal Guest Advocate at Target but got a video interview email for the Food Team Member position. Do you know what that is?
Yes that’s market so anywhere in market could be where you work!
Im gonna apply to Target online soon, but wondering what’s the name for like stocking or working in the back or sports shift
So they don’t have just working in the back positions anymore! Any stocking will be by department so whatever you think you’d want to stock!
I got hired as a style consultant what should I expect from that ? What do they do ?
Doing a lot of clothing freight and folding the clothes on the shelves!
TY
So I applied last November of 2021 because I wanted a winter job but I didn't get hired but I just applied again yesterday to work when I'm done with college so I'm hoping to get it this time because I can commit longer.
Yess you got this it’s honestly random so just keep applying!
are you able to carry your phone with you while working?
I am!😊
if you get rejected can you re apply again?
Yes after so long idk how long tho
So I applied to the target near me and got rejected. Once after an interview online and another I just wasn’t considered. I really want to work there. When should I apply again? Should I call them or go inside?
Yes! Apply again! Online, in store will get you no where! I had to apply 3 times to get in lol
Is it worth forwarding applications in store ???
Nope! They do all online now
I would love to work at Target. I also know my paycheck would go right back into target.s bank account.
You should try! And it really does lol love all the discounts and being able to watch for sales!
i applied and got accepted for the virtual interview AHHHHH i did it last night but now im anxiously waiting to see if i got the job or not
Yay!! And it’s super easy so you got this!! Let me know if you get it!❤️
I just did my virtual interview an hour ago ✨😬
@@samantha12699 I’m gonna be doing that today :)
I just got a message from them, they rejected me cause I didn’t have what they were looking for. I’m will yo learn and that’s what I put, they had the poster saying there hiring but no. Should I try again?
Yes try again in a week or so! They get so many applications so its easy to get lost in the cracks!
@@KaitlinSonday thank you I will definitely try again!
How long did it take after your interview for them to call u for orientation?
About a week or so! If they haven’t contacted you call them!
@@KaitlinSonday I applied 5 days ago.. I did the interview 2 days ago and this morning I received a call from Target but I missed :( They send me a email for a time to call me back regarding the application and I responded …. I’m still waiting :(( I hope can I get in touch soon.
I have applied 3 times, and got rejected… what are they looking for 😭 do I need to go personally to the store and introduce myself? BECAUSE i WILL I JUST NEED TO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR
Big thing is availability!! I wouldn’t go to the store since you’ll most likely get shrugged off and it’d be a waste of time!
@@KaitlinSonday thank you so much! I guess because I work at my school, maybe that’s why they didn’t take me :/, I only work two days at school and only for three hours too :/
Me and my twin sister are very available and we both put the same times that we can go and guess what, only she got accepted not me.
I applied do you think i should call them? I really want to work there! I hope i do
Awesome! And I would call and just ask in a day or so! If you don’t get it apply again!
Working as a cashier
Can you take a break too ??
You do but it’s usually planned for you versus on the floor you can choose when!
When you say work on the floor jobs so is that basically stocking those selves? So if its the beauty dept then stocking that section of the store? Can someone please clarify this for me :)
Yes!! Otherwise it would be cashiers
I currently work in retail but the place I work at is really far away and target is closer and has better pay wish me luck
You got this! What retail place do you work currently??😊
@@KaitlinSonday sorry I never replied i didn’t see this but I work in a store called Heb
Check out my target video 💓 I spilled all the tea ☕️
How long do you have to wait if not choosen for a position
I would wait a week or so tbh! Lol maybe a month I don’t think they have a certain time frame!
@@KaitlinSonday also what months do they usually hire alot of people
Great video 👍 I did my HireVue video interview yesterday & got an email today saying I got an invitation to connect with a Target Store Leader. So I’m not sure if that’s a second interview or meaning I got the job. 🤞
So I’ll be speaking to someone tomorrow 😊
Yes that’s awesome! More than likely yes you got it! They ask just a few more simple questions and then they usually set up orientation!
Did you add a summary/objective in your resume?
