So I was thinking about this the other day. What have I learned or have become better at since working at Target? This is different from my other job but I’ve definitely been able to take skills I’ve learned from Target to that job.
One small example is when I first started at Target I wasn’t great at small talk with strangers. It was always awkward and weird and I’d say something stupid. This is one thing Target has taught me when dealing with guests.
The other thing is de-escalating a situation. When a guest is angry about something, I’ve learned how to diffuse the situation so, unless the guest is a real asshole, they leave in a better mood.
So my people skills have improved which has helped in other areas of my life.
What has Target taught you?
