Hey folks! So yesterday morning I got a call from HR offering me a seasonal position in Starbucks at Target. After accepting the offer, she told me she was going to go ahead and send over the stuff to get the background check started. She told me to keep an eye out for the email, as it expires in 24hrs after she sends it. I’ve been monitoring my email like a hawk and have yet to receive the email. Any idea how long it takes to receive the email to initiate the background check? Should I call to make sure she sent it and didn’t forget? Thanks!

They did 20 years ago when I started at Target. Can't say for sure if it's normal now or not, but I imagine we have plenty of applicants and turning away the few who wouldn't want, or wouldn't pass one, would not hurt our hiring.
