Executive Intern question

[youknowthething]

Hey everyone,
I recently applied to Target's Executive Internship program and will be talking to a recruiter soon over the phone. Can anyone give me any advice on what I should expect? It was not stated as an interview but I am expecting to be asked questions and such. And, to anyone who has been an intern, do you have anything that I should know if I do happen to secure a spot? Thanks!

1. No humor
2. Doesn't know Target very well
3. Obviously completely clueless on the type of people on this board.
4. Doesn't realize we all have seen intern ETLs. Big eyes bushy tail. Ready to use their degree but no beans about Retail and manage from their office.

If you’re doing the intern program, they should be able to find a spot for you afterwards! Sometimes they have you do the EIT role twice. Lots of ETL positions open right now.

My original Dog has some very pleasant and intelligent interns who moved on to other Dogs w/in the region. It's a gig, not the easiest thing to find these days. Do it, show up, work hard, be punctual, it ain't that bad! (it you're an old fart like me put moisturizer on the back of your hands, slinging shit all day is rough on the claws.)

Spot may not be hiring until next summer for interns.
