Sounds like heaven, all the pay none of the BS.
Ya..if you werent planning on moving up to ETL this position sounds like a dream come true

Totally understand wanting someone who is qualified. However dismissing someone because they currently are employed by spot is asinine. I know in my store they have told a few potential candidates that they wanted outside hires. These team members had experience in the arts fields,design, merchandising etc but because they are currently employed by Target they are not ideal candidates. They want someone untouched by Target. Basically you are still following a planogram. The merchandising part comes into play when the presentation begins to break. So we are going to bring in brand new people who will still have to learn the basics of Target. Just another situation where Target is overlooking the talent that may be in the store currently for a risk.
So where exactly are they opening this new position? A City Target in my area has opened it but my store which is humongous hasn't. What are the requirements for a store to be given this new role?
We have two, but then again we also have three floors.Maybe. It will depend on store size. At my store, we have 1 etl for all salesfloor.
Yes I was surprised but my City Target is highly visited.haha...city target? really? Idk about yours but the one around me is tiny. How easy of a job would that be for that high of pay at that store
We have kept our ctl position even though it was supposed to be cut. Our market makes enough to sort the fight...What about to all PAs...at least the ones who had to pick up the slack of losing the CTL position. You think my TL or ETL I report to has any impact or helps at all in Market/Pfresh with anything..that would be a big fat no. And what did we get for having the CTL position entirely cut. Less hours and not a cent of pay higher.
I understand that the margin on food is not that high and target probably doesnt make all that much revenue on food, but that is probably one area that needs the most attention and if they dont want to give it the attention it needs honestly they should just gut it and expand softlines
If you are working spot. Apply using ehr, instead. Better chance of getting a callback.
What interview questions did they give you? And how many interviews did you have?I just accepted this position at my store. I think we have 2 weeks left in our 6 week remodel. I start training next week.
Part of me is freaking out cause I'm helping cover the areas of some of our mbtm cause they moved to work remodel.
I did 4 interviews. SF ETL, HR ETL, stl, then dtl. They're formatted like TM interviews, situation, behavior, outcome questions, but leadership oriented.What interview questions did they give you? And how many interviews did you have?
What are your hours like?

With the stl, there was a packet. They show you a few pictures of what's considered brand, then show you pictures that aren't brand and ask you what you'd do to improve the area.
Hours: 7a to 330p m-thur. Close one night a week. Then alternating weekends with a mid shift Saturday and 6am start on Sunday.

Go, @Rarejem, go!I have an interview on Monday. I'm really excited about the opportunity - this sounds like a job that I would love! I have been a TL in the past, so have been through this type of interview, but I know that I'll need an edge. I'm not sure if others have applied, but I do know that 2 other tm's have degrees in retail merchandising. I have experience to draw upon, but my degree is in another field so I feel like I may be just that one step behind if either of them have applied. Any suggestions on how I can move to just that one step ahead?
I think that's just for my district. I haven't met any vml's from,other places.Are those hours set for VMLs across the board or are they just for your store/district?
Can anyone who is currently a VM TL give me a run down of their day to day chores?
I am just a PA, but have been recognized in the past by our GTL for pretty much "what I imagine" a VM TL does.. I also have a Bacherlor's degree in the Arts, while not "Visual Merchandising" I would think Graphic Design/Computer Graphics would be pretty damn close, I believe both want to end up at the same goal..
I guess my real question is "How much personal creativity are you allowed to invest in your projects, or is it more, "Corporate wants it like this, make it happen!" type of deal.
Also what is your day to day routine like?
