I liked a lot of the people that I worked with and being able to help people and have them return specifically for me and referring their friends to my store because of me.
What I wish was different
I wish I could have stayed longer and gone to school.
Advice
Treat everyone like you would your friends and they will do the same in return.

Executive Team Leader Intern
June - August 2019 • Fredericksburg, VA
What I liked
I enjoyed the atmosphere. It's very hands-on and you jump right into the different departments and learn who is your team. This is a fast paced position.
What I wish was different
You learn a lot, I wished it was a little bit longer.
Advice
NETWORK! You learn a lot about Target culture and the business model. You have to network with your team and other leaders throughout your chosen store and others from different stores.

Executive Team Leader Intern
June - August 2017 • San Jose, CA
What I liked
I loved the people that I worked with at Target! Everyone, including higher management, were so supportive and encouraging! I felt valued and gained so many leadership skills on the job!
What I wish was different
I wish that I had more time to dive deeper into the company and it's culture! Retail is so fast pace that it was sometimes hard to understand Target's processes and procedures. I also wish there were more team bonding events because I loved getting to know other Executives and the other interns!
Advice
I would say, don't be afraid to go out of your comfort zones and just take risks! If you throw yourself into your role and you are confident in your ability to succeed, you will!
