Archived Can I return?

[KellBell]

Hi, everybody. I'm fairly new to Target, been here since just before last Halloween. I made it past probation and didn't get cut. Yay. However, I'd been looking for another part-time job to help with bills and have landed an actual full-time one instead. I love Target, but the pay is better and the job doesn't require me to show up before 4 am and unload a truck ranging from 2k-2700 5 days out of the week. The only hang-up being that the job is only for 6 months so...I it possible to come back to the same Target?
I know I probably still have to go through the interview process all over again, but I'm okay with that. Would I be allowed back?
I'll be giving my two-week notice tomorrow morning.
PS
Thank you

As long as you actually show up for your last two weeks, then yes you can reapply. Lots of people do that. I did that.

Since the other job sounds like it would be temporary and you enjoy working for Target, try asking your HR to go on what is called LOA (Leave of Absence). When asked what's the reason, say family member or something to that degree. That way, you can Still be in "The system" and won't lose your "tenure" with your Target.

If you go the LOA route they limit it to 120 days unless it's for education so if you truly need six months keep that in mind

How long for education?

What about keeping a small amount of availability at Target while you work the other full time job? That way you stay in the books, keep your emplyee discounts active, and have a little extra money. The downside to this is that you're working 6 days a week, which means cramming housework, social, etc into a smaller window. But if the other job is only 6 months, it might be worth it.

This. For example we have a TM that works a full time regular office job, and then just works 4-9 on Sunday for signing. She keeps her discount, only works 5 hours a week, and is in the system still. Also doesn’t even take up really any of her Sunday, she can still go to church or whatever she wants afterwords. It’s super smart imo.

I believe you get one year.

Yup and working even one winter or spring break resets the clock.

Thank you, everybody. You've all been so helpful and I am very appreciative

Yep, we have on team member who works a couple of weeks per year to stay on her educational LOA. We all know she has a different job but she wants to keep her discount.
