[Softlines Owns My Soul]

I'm looking for something seasonal to supplement my full time job and I have an interview at Kohls on Tuesday...and now I have an interview at target for a seasonal softlines position. Here we go again. Any big changes since last year I should know about?

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Play dumb for starters. Then you will see the changes.

They're pushing harder to make us all salespeople...when you see a, tell them to add b type crap. Blah.

They were doing that when I left (late last year)

anyway I'm back - seasonal softlines TM. I'll be closing on weekdays, I have open weekend availability. Works very well with my FT job.

I think it depends on how long you were gone from spot. If it was a short period, you might get your old TM# back. Annie would be the one to ask.

It might be exactly a year, it could be slightly less...so I don't know if that helps.

I was gone for a year and a half and got my same TM number back. Everyone else I know that left and came back got their same number as well.

Yes it was! And I got someone to get a red card - nice.

Welcome back! I've found since Target is not my main job anymore, it has been MUCH less stressful to me. I know you are seasonal now but remember... if you want a day off, request it off. If they ask you to come in, you can say no, etc. Don't let Target run your life.

I hear you - if I get past my seasonal period I plan on scaling back my availability so I know which days I can make plans. Right now I can close every weekday and I'm open on weekends. I really need to catch up on bills so this is a good opportunity.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Don't close on weekends. Just open, is my suggestion. Ad setup & sat open, is your best bet. A lot hours earned that way.

Well they already have me opening next Sunday so that seems to be their plan

 

[nib]

Yes, you always keep your old TM # (unless you haven't worked for Target for over 10 years)

There's been a lot of subtle changes to metrics over the year since I came back.

There's this power hour thing going on. Also something about cartwheel.

Yeah I'm learning about both.

Something I didn't miss but a first since my return: (checks voicemail), "Hey Softlines Owns My Soul, can you come in to close tonight? I either didn't check the schedule to see we've scheduled you for 4 AM Sunday or I did check and I don't care."
