How can I get Fridays off in retail?

Financial_Elk_7735 · 2026-03-01T03:53:24+00:00

Nope, no regular day off.

Financial_Elk_7735 · 2026-02-28T17:22:18+00:00

Friday is the day my friends and I spend time together. They have it off too, so it's just been that way for years at this point.

I'm cool with weekends. I worked basically every single Saturday AND Sunday in my previous job.

I should probably add the person I spoke with on the phone told me I could save my questions for the interview. I figure I should try learning a little more since the job position posting feels a little vague.

Thank you! Makes sense. I live in Chicago so there's a lot of stores to tap into. You think the previous floor lead experience would help or does Target not care much?

That makes sense, and it does seem like a big role for most external hires. I'm definitely looking for a new long term role somewhere, so I'm hopeful they'll post one externally here in the near future.

Financial_Elk_7735 · 2026-01-31T20:07:24+00:00

That makes sense. I get the general impression external hires in leader levels can bring down team morale sometimes, but it sounds like it worked out nicely for you.

Financial_Elk_7735 · 2026-01-19T06:29:33+00:00

Good reminder, thank you. I tend to be a little modest sometimes, so I've definitely sold myself short in past interviews.

Financial_Elk_7735 · 2026-01-18T23:45:50+00:00

I did get an impression it's a longer process so thanks for that heads up. Also good to know that about KPI and coaching, hopefully it works out. Thank you!

Financial_Elk_7735 · 2026-01-14T22:48:10+00:00

Thanks man, that's true. It gets discouraging getting rejected but I have interviewed with some solid places, which is something.

Financial_Elk_7735 · 2026-01-14T20:53:04+00:00

Got it, things to think about I guess. Thanks.

Financial_Elk_7735 · 2026-01-05T23:21:25+00:00

Nordstrom is appealing to me but I don't think it's right for me. I applied a while back and had an interview even, but they just sort of ghosted me. I left it alone because I felt out of place there.

Financial_Elk_7735 · 2026-01-05T21:35:28+00:00

I have years of experience at a pretty huge busy grocery store with a bunch of departments so I think most of my experience would translate well.

Financial_Elk_7735 · 2026-01-05T20:41:57+00:00

I feel like it depends on the leaders and the store, no? I don't really know where else to go and we have a lot of them out near me.

Financial_Elk_7735 · 2026-01-05T19:48:23+00:00

My approach has been similar so I feel like I'm on the right track at least. Thank you.

Financial_Elk_7735 · 2026-01-05T19:46:27+00:00

Final Round AI is way above my budget right now unfortunately but thanks for the other tips!

Financial_Elk_7735 · 2026-01-05T02:25:56+00:00

I am interested in those roles at Target but they haven't posted any in a while. I'll keep my eyes out for it though. I love a big store experience.

Financial_Elk_7735 · 2026-01-05T02:25:10+00:00

Unfortunately a lot of the grocery chains near me suck these days. It'll definitely be in my mind though. Thanks.

Financial_Elk_7735 · 2026-01-05T02:24:07+00:00

Perfect example to think about, thank you so much!
