Store Executive Intern

June - August 2019 • Gainesville, VA

What I liked

I like how the team was super helpful in answering any and all my questions. I was able to see all departments in the Target store and spend time with a bunch of team members and leaders in the building. I learned from each individual and by the end of my internship I was able to be a "leader on duty" multiple times and make certain store decisions. I liked how I participated in leadership meetings and had a voice. Great culture.

What I wish was different

My feet hurt from all the walking...wish there was more time to sit down.

Advice

Come into this internship with a yearning to learn more and to develop your leadership skills, otherwise you won't get much of out it. Ask for feedback and make sure your experience is "global" aka make sure you're seeing all departments and seeing the connections between each of them to the overall store and business. Lastly, wear comfy shoes.
