Executive Store Intern

June - August 2018 • Portland, OR

What I liked

I loved the hands on experience I received during my internship. I was given the responsibility to lead the store and make decisions as the leader on duty which was very empowering. I loved working with the other ETLs in the store as well as working in an environment with great people.

What I wish was different

Advice

Be prepared to be fully immersed in the leadership aspect during this internship. Don't be afraid to make mistakes and ask for help when needed. You're not expected to know how to fully run a store, so be open to critique and advice.

Operations Manager Intern

June - August 2018 • Lugoff, SC

What I liked

I loved the company culture at Target and the people I met.

What I wish was different

I wish it had been more structured week to week.

Advice

I think the point of an internship to find different roles or jobs that you wouldn't have to chance once you are out in the real world. While in college we are focusing on one path but why not try something completely out of the box to see if you like it.

Target Employee

June 2018 • Janesville, WI

What I liked

I love customer service. I want to be a marketing and advertising writer, so interacting with customers and taking note of packing and products frequently bought is important for me. I need to write content that appeals to the consumer; what better way than to interact with the consumer!

What I wish was different

I wish I had not spent as much time on the cash register and more time organizing and working on the sale's floor.

Advice

Don't be afraid of entry level positions. Work really hard and show all of your colors in your small position because you will be noticed and eventually handed bigger opportunities. I ended up being asked to transfer to a Target in the Twin Cities and have already been given employee recognition.

What I liked

The team and guests are great. They make work fun. I go in and leave feeling accomplished.

What I wish was different

I wish I was eased into it more. It felt like I was suddenly supposed to know everything after I was done training.

Advice

You need to build your soft skills. This is a people-orientated job.

Executive Team Leader intern

June - August 2018 • Lufkin, TX

What I liked

I liked seeing the whole store and how each department was run. And in the end how it all came together.

What I wish was different

The organization of it, and giving me more things to do that felt like I was an asset rather than an extra hand.

Advice

Assert yourself and make sure that you are getting as much out of it as possible.

Executive manager intern

June - August 2018 • Edgewater, NJ

What I liked

I liked the company culture the best! All members of management are very friendly and helpful. They really look out for you and value your feedback.

What I wish was different

I wish I had this experience earlier to gain an understanding of a professional workplace.

This internship is a serious commitment. Be prepared to fully commit and become fully invested in the company. Retail is a lot of work but can be enjoyed if surrounded by the right people.

Executive Team Leader

May 2018 • Fort Collins, CO

What I liked

Starting day 1, I was treated at the level of all other executives. My STL spent a bunch of one on one time with me and helped develop my leadership abilities. The main goal of this internship was to determine what my leadership style was and how to handle responsibility,

What I wish was different

I wish I had the opportunity to spend more time in a super target, rather than my small store. I also wish that /i had spent more team specifically focusing on Human Resources and Assets Protection.

Advice

I would recommend that if anyone wants to experience a true leadership role, this is the job for you. I learned how to successfully leverage relationships to accomplish any goal/objective set before me and my team.
