Actually it's much easier to get a work visa when you already have a job offer. I know this from personal experience.

Gregg became a merchandiser for Target in 1979. He's been president since 1999 and worked closely with Ulrich for a long time.

I like the count update report since its more integrated. Haven't seen any problems with TM pull report

All good! CRC Error moving to a non-scored metric is more in line with the Vibe and common sense really. Guest has a receipt for that TV but no box? Yeah I'm gonna go ahead and accept that return, error or not. BRLA % is a more useful stat to measure as far as shortage goes. Seasonality...

This makes more sense than anything else said here. Though HQ plants do exist, its almost always a union buster. An HQ plant wouldn't leave their notes in a spill station.

Other than the things you should know in general for Target interviews (covered in other threads) emphasize your ability to demonstrate courage (especially to other leaders - challenging upwards), communicate effectively, and make the decision that's best for the business. Oftentimes in AP...

What specifically can I do to improve instocks

My shortage indicator is blood red and not just because of fourth quarter. It has been for awhile. From all my time in AP its never been a focus of mine because I've been able to drive down shortage year over year without paying much attention to it. Personally I think the report is flawed...

Cashiers get it easy when their leaders don't use the productivity report. Every other area's TMs have goals to meet for their shift (zone, reshop, end caps, attachments, fresh and full, etc) so why shouldn't cashiers? I understand that its awkward and it may seem like harassment to some people...

Business partners are not above DTLs..they're not even above STLs (except senior business partners)

ETLs are supposed to change position sometime after every 18 months anyway. Often they will go to a different store
