For an ETL position, they will look at education verification in your background check. Of course, if you have equivalent experience, it helps, but if you were to lie about your education on your resume, they will most likely disqualify you from the process. To put that into perspective, every...

I know a guy in the district who's a SrTL and is best friends with an STL-IA. They party all the time with ETLs and even BPs and I know he crashes on her couch all the time

At our store, we have always had an extra electronics cage. We store the street-dated merchandise in there and have placed a different core on the lock, with the keyholders knowing not to sign out the key for that core until the day of the release. On top of that, we have it in the electronics...

Hey Guys, So as you may know I'm a senior TL looking to get promoted to an ETL or another district role within my 18 month period. Just hit a year with Target (and 3 months in my latest role) and now I'm focusing on developing a bigger role within my district. When I was an electronics TL, I...

Hey paidtosmile, before I was promoted to my current role with Target, I was the electronics TL at an org chart 5 store in Canada. I'd love to share some tips if you'd like to DM me!

I think I'm going to take some plain t-shirts and print flowers on them, and then sell them as knock-off's called "Pilot Peter"

Hey Guys, Question for you. Since ETL is technically a district role, would a TL to BP promotion be possible? Has anyone ever seen it done? I only ask because my ETLs feel that I'd be better suited in a BP role in my succession planning conversations. Thanks!

My favorite has got to be "valley" ... it's an aisle, everybody calls it an aisle, so just drop it.

So much more straight forward in Canada apparently! TLs have pre-30, pre-60, and pre-90 day check-in conversations with TMs to see how they're doing. They then rate their performance as either meets or doesn't meet expectations. The formal 90-day discussion is last and the TM can see their...

Why were you pulled into the office and what was the justification for that conversation?

Have him start developing routines and strong partnerships within the store. For example, building a strong relationship with the Electronics TL to make sure things are following proper merch protection procedure and with Trailer Unload/Push TMs to make sure that the secure stock process is...

SFT's in Canada have all weekends plus holidays off and most work Monday thru Friday, 6.00am to 2.30pm. Although they are assigned to a store, they report directly to the PDBP. Career advances after an SFT role include PDBP, OSR, PDFL, or other property development/real estate/construction roles...

As someone who works up in Canada, I can tell you that nearly every department is undergoing a transition or major POG revision right now. Half of our stores are PTM'ed and it doesn't help that we still have ongoing in-stocks issues everywhere.

Heard from an APBP that the password change was initiated by a potential hack on the company's internal server. Apparently nothing of "significant importance" was lost. I don't know about you guys in the U.S. but we can't access anything Target at home ... comes down to work-life balance.

Hey Guys, A lot of us use e-mail at Target to communicate facts such as sales, REDcard numbers, NCNS', etc. to the entire team over the course of the day. My question to everyone is, what does your store/district/group share in their daily communications that may not necessarily be shared...
