I am in school for medical laboratory sciences, and last week I was offered a job in a hospital laboratory doing a stepping-stone lab assistant job before I graduate in May, at the same lab where I will do my clinical rotations. I gave a month's notice, so they can hire/train someone and so they know not to schedule me for that last week.
For the most part, I will miss Target. I was just finally hitting my stride as a Consumables DBO when the opportunity to go finish my BS-Biomedical came up. I will miss a lot of my teammates on the closing shift and my leader (I love her and I am grateful for her leadership and how she taught me resilience and confidence).
But the signs have been there for awhile, mostly my increasing frustration with certain team members who are leaving so much work behind that, as a closing team member, I find it hard to prioritize and organize. My fellow and sister closers in Consumables also feel the same way. It is time to move forward in my career plans and get some experience under my belt so when it comes time to be hired, I will have that to show for it. I was able to use a lot of what I've learned about retail and business in my interviews, and it seemed to have impressed them, as well as in my interviews for my clinicals (which we have been told are 6-month job interviews). This job also gives me my weekends back, as I'll only be working every 3rd weekend and 6 additional Saturdays, so I will be able to do things with my husband and not have to ask off so often for my band's events (parades and competitions are always on weekends). I could only work Fr-Sa-Su-Mo and it was hard to find study time in that block, with Tu being band practice as well.
