I'm thinking about applying for a seasonal job at Target, and I heard they have hiring events. How do these work, and when do they usually happen around this time of year?
Target does indeed have seasonal hiring events, which generally take place in October and November for the holiday season. Lasting several days, these hiring events are a chance for prospective employees to apply for a range of positions—from store associates to distribution center roles.
Usually, this is how the events work: First, you apply online to the seasonal job listing of your local Target store. Once your application is reviewed, you may receive an invitation to attend the in-store hiring event. During the event, you’ll have the opportunity to have a quick interview with a store leader. If the interview goes well, you could be offered a seasonal job on the spot!
The specific dates for the hiring events can vary year by year and store by store. Generally, you can expect these hiring events to occur in the fall, often in October and November.
It's best to keep an eye on Target's website and check their career page for the most accurate and up-to-date information. But remember, even if you miss the hiring events, Target typically hires employees on a rolling basis, especially in the weeks leading up to the holiday season.
