July - September 2019 • Santa Rosa, CA

What I liked

I liked the community that was built with employers and employees. I also liked that they had a variety of hours that fit your schedule during the Summer. The task were always straightforward.

What I wish was different

I wish I had started working there sooner and the background process didn't take so long. I wish the hiring process was a little more quicker because it took me about three weeks after being hired to start working.

Advice

I encourage people to apply not only to the register position but also to other positions. Some people may not know that there is more than just the register such as beauty and style.

Executive Intern

June - August 2019 • Mesa, AZ

What I liked

I was able to hone in my leadership style and gained a ton of confidence leading my team throughout the store. I also had a mentor who I consider to be my mentor for the rest of my career. I was able to have a lot of conversations with him about my struggles and strides with my team. Overall, I learned so much about myself and what I want to do with my career. I also had the opportunity to meet several regional directors and one of the Vice Presidents of Target.

What I wish was different

I loved my internship and don't wish anything was different.

Advice

I would say to not be afraid to be super open to feedback and learn from the feedback.

It was a great experience getting to know every aspect of what it takes to manage a Target store. I also enjoyed getting to work with such a fun and dedicated team.

Beauty and Style Consultant

June - November 2019 • San Jose, CA

What I liked

The staff were SUPER friendly and made me feel so welcome! If I ever needed help, anyone would drop what they were doing to help me.

What I wish was different

I wish I would’ve been able to work there throughout the entire semester, but commuting was putting a strain on my body.

Specifically the target I worked at really prepared me to be my own leader. My boss really made sure whenever I did something, that I knew why I was doing it and that no one was going to tell me otherwise.

Executive Team Leader Intern

June - August 2019 • New Port Richey, FL

What I liked

I liked the team that trained me, my mentor was amazing, and I loved getting the inside scoop on Target business operations. The work environment was really upbeat, there was always something to do. I learned that being an ETL (Executive Team Leader) at Target is not a 9-5 M-F job.

What I wish was different

I wish I had more time in certain areas of the store with my training but overall my experience was perfect.

Advice

My piece of advice for this experience would be to go into this and give it everything you got. I really challenged myself to take on an internship for leadership / management and I learned and did things that I did not know I was capable of.
