Hey there, everyone! I'm really excited and nervous about my new job at Target, and was hoping you guys could at least put some of my worries to ease. 
I start my Orientation this Saturday, and I'm gonna pop. It can't get here quick enough [this is my second job, even though I'm 25]! What are some of the things I should expect? My license and social security card are good enough forms of identification, right? Will I get my name tag? Do I get a tour of the place? Do I start training that day, or does that happen on my first day of work? About how long will I be there?
I've read a couple of threads from other seasonal workers wanting to be full time, and I was wondering if there's anything I should know about other than the completely obvious? I want to be able to stand out, and a lot of the "be cheerful" "guests first" "come in when called" "never pass up a chance to cross train" is what I consider basic work ethic. Who should I semi-frequently poke with my interest in full time? Who should I rub shoulders and be friendly with? Will frequently attending the volunteer functions they do make me look good [even though I plan on doing that anyway]?
I've only had one other job before this, and it was seasonal work in a warehouse. It broke my heart to get the Bye, Felicia letter, as I love working and having a job. I really don't want to have to go through that again, so I would appreciate any and all tips. Thanks guys and gals!
