They didn’t “just brush it off” with every call in, they’re just dead on the inside from having taken that call a thousand times a year. Plus they can’t legally force you to come in and depending on the HRBP they may not even be able to guilting you into coming in.
Go to the new store and let them know you’d like to talk about transferring to their store, offer to come back later if it isn’t a good time. Tell them what you know, why you’re excited to continue working for Target, and why your attendance was bad and how you’ll improve. (Even simply acknowledging “My head wasn’t in it before but now it’s time to be an adult and take this seriously” is usually enough the first time you say it.😉) Stores are getting hesitant about transfers since a lot just aren’t working out and end up NCNSing their way out the door. Drink some of the forbidden kool-aid before going in, just enough to be excited to work at Target.
I almost feel like the trick to acing interviews is being friendly and outgoing and smile a lot and just be happy to be in Red.
