I talked up the Target seasonal hiring event to a family friend. He went to the hiring event last weekend and was rejected. He’s 19, a college student (2x a week) with retail experience, he says he gave 7 day availability. I thought he’d a a sure thing, honestly.
My daughter is a minor, still in HS and was offered a seasonal job. (I didn’t tell anyone she was my kid. She did it solo)
Should he retry at the November event? Should he try the other smaller Target in town? Or is it a lost cause?
I was thinking I could coach him a bit. Or that something was incorrect/ flagged about his application I mean, maybe he could have wear a collared shirt? He’s typically shy, maybe act more assertive at the interview?
I’m also thinking his 7 day availability may have been crap. Like sometimes he takes his brother to scouts (he was an Eagle Scout and is a junior scoutmaster I think?). It’s seasonal work. They won’t be doing scouting over the school holidays. Or he can ask for a specific day off. I think he should have left those commitments off.
Like I say, my minor daughter got in with a more restrictive school schedule.
So.... Should he try again or no?
