training

I think at one point, we had certified trainers. But now I'm positive they just throw a dart at the grid and pick whoever's name it lands on. Like sometimes they'll pick someone good. There's one TM who used to be one of the softlines specialists when that was still a thing that usually trains...

Hi I'm new to this site and I've been with target in softlines since the beginning of June. The first day they had me do some tutorials and tests on a computer, and then the first couple of days doing soft lines I was supervised. But they didn't teach me how to do everything, or they showed me...

Hey guys, I've been working at Target for a little over a month now as a cashier and next week I have a 30 minute training right before my four hour shift. They didn't mention anything about it to me so I was just wondering what it might be?

Hey everyone! New team member here, currently going through training. I have a mound of questions that I'd like to ask. So if it's not too much to ask I'd like as much help as I can get since it's my first job :) I'm not in any rush for answers either so take your time please if you're willing...

So I've been asked by basically everyone from team lead up to STL to train to be a team lead. They said you take some tests and they give you a project but that I'd be a "bench" TL and then apply. No one really has gone into specifics with it so i am kind of confused.. I know you don't get the...

What exactly does that mean and how is it determined? What is the difference between a training store and non-training store?

So I originally got hired as Plano for a remodeling at my store I just finished 3 days of training at a different store a few days ago.. Well today I called to ask for my schedule and I was told that they are switching me to backroom and giving me three days of training but this time at my...

Hi. New team member hired during fourth quarter. Besides for training I could compete myself, no management would take the time to work with me to get the rest signed off. Well apparently HR was tired of me coming up on the reports and just cleared all my training. New ESTL-sf just put me on...

Today was my orientation day and to be honest I'm feeling a little overwhelmed! I thought today would be the standard orientation I'm used to with company videos and paperwork. My day started with a short orientation video that I watched by myself since I was the only new hire. I signed some...

I went through orientation today and start training tomorrow. After my interview they told me to go to guest services and tell them I was there for orientation. For training do I go to guest services again or do I just walk right in and clock in?

Now I know at some point we were all new, and must've been pretty clueless on how things worked with Spot. As a seasonal hire, the only thing that kept me on the team for 90 days was my personality. Hopefully this thread will allow us to share our experiences, get some awkward things off our...

I've said numerous times I do not want to be in electronics and now I'm on the schedule to train in electronics and work in electronics a few days on the new schedule. Why doesn't anyone at target listen? Not to mention I finally thought they would go by my availability but here I am again on...

Any new people feel like you got trained for half a minute and then they yell on the walkies when there is a guest who pushed a call button or you need to take a call but they never told you how to do it? Has happened to me and a few others and they won't respond when you ask what to do but...

hello so i just had orientation saturday and my first day is tomorrow and im really nervous and have a lot of questions so if u could answer any that would help first what do i do when i get there? my shift starts at 3 and i need to get my employee number (idk what that is..) to punch in with...

I posted this on the Target subreddit, but I want to get this forum's opinions as well. I interviewed for the VML position and didn't get it, but I am now on the bench and my STL/HR-ETL/SL-ETL are grooming me toward being able to interview again in 4-6 months. I'm being promoted to a brand team...

So I officially began my training the other day and (naturally) I have questions. And yes, I have read the guides here and I've been reading threads from new hires, but I still have questions and would appreciate personal help and feedback. I do apologize in advance if any of these questions...

so today was my first day of training (and my only day of training). It was for four hours. 3 hours reading stuff, 1/2 team leader demonstrating how to use the cash register in training mode (for a group of 6). Only 1/2 hr was used for cashiering, where each new team member had to be alone with...

I have been with Target for 2 years and I just can't believe a corporation as big as Target is so awful in its training ! It's an embarrassment. I have scene TM that have been there less than a month told to train new TM. A new person started last night. Came in to the store and didnt know...
