Well, I'm an ETL and I'd just like to say good luck. I don't understand those that take someone leaving so personally. It's always a bummer for leaders when someone who is good at what they do and runs a green workcenter decides to leave, but I see no point in pulling stuff like those two ETLs...

Wow, this is really interesting. I do know, however, that although Target will get a LOT of people in for interviews, they are still pretty selective for the ETL position. For example, when I spoke to a recruiter originally, there were also about 10 other people from my college who were...

I am new to The Break Room, although I have been following the site for months now. I will be starting as an ETL in January and look forward to my new career with Target! I also look forward to getting to know everyone on here. The information and wisdom-sharing that goes on here is...
