Hihi! Seasonal Squad

[Kiwipae]

Just prefacing all of this by saying this forum has been immensely helpful already (❁´◡`❁)

Hopping on board as a seasonal employee and it's my first position at target.
Maybe I'll be able to score a more permanent work position? Who knows!

Nervous, excited, but am glad to see folks banding together to help each other out and gathering knowledge ahead of time puts me at ease.
Hope I can help others as well later down the line!

Keep your head down. Stay away from drama. Work with a sense of urgency. Don’t be late and unless it’s an emergency don’t call out!

I started as a seasonal TM and I'm still at the same store, 10+ years later. @Noiinteam and @Hardlinesmaster are both right. I'd add: Don't be afraid to ask questions. (If someone makes you feel stupid for asking a question, that's their problem.) If you can figure out who are the founts of knowledge at your store, think of them as valuable resources who know the tips and tricks because they've learned from their mistakes.

I also started as seasonal in 2011!

Welcome. Others have said the same, learn, learn, learn. Knowledge is key 🔑 to not only keeping your job, it can lead to permanent employment. Have a work life balance. Leave work AT WORK. Leave home at HOME. Good luck 👍🏾

Do NOT call out on Black Friday. You WILL be asked not to return.
