3 best tips to get hired at Target🎯

Why do I hear getting into Target is harder than Harvard?! 😂

I had to apply 3 times — but after 7 years here, I promise it’s worth it.

Here are my top 3 tips for getting hired:

✅ 1. Open availability = HUGE advantage.

You can narrow it later, but being flexible upfront gives you the edge.

✅ 2. Follow up in 2 weeks.

Don’t just wait — call and speak to HR directly (no voicemails!). They’ll remember you better.

✅ 3. Reapply if needed.

Different position? New posting? Try again — I applied 3x before I got in!

📌 Save this if you’re applying or know someone who is!

... Read moreApplying for a job at Target, or any retail giant, can feel overwhelming due to high competition. One of the best strategies is to showcase your availability; employers value candidates who can work flexible hours. This means you're more likely to be considered during hiring seasons when they need staff the most. Additionally, persistence is key. Many applicants overlook the importance of following up after submitting their application. A simple call or email can keep your name fresh in the HR's mind and demonstrate your enthusiasm for the role. Lastly, don’t hesitate to reapply for different positions. If you see a new job listing that matches your skills, take the plunge and apply again, even if you were previously rejected. Remember, the retail sector often experiences high turnover, and what may not be suitable today could change tomorrow. Stay positive and persistent, and you might just find the opportunity you’ve been waiting for!
