Guest Services
June - September 2019 • San Mateo, CA
What I liked
I was able to improve on my problem solving skills as well as how to navigate conversations with unhappy customers. The General Store Team Leaders as well as my coworkers were super nice and made working there enjoyable. Plus the pay at this location is great for a student who is working at home and doesn't pay living expenses.
What I wish was different
I wish there were more employees on the floor that could restock returns.
Advice
Be patient with guests but try to make friends with people in other teams as it'll make your work at guest services easier.

What I wish was different
I honestly do not have a comment what I wish was different.

I advice anyone in the Fashion Merchandise & Design track to have retail experience for at least one year. It is very beneficial to your resume, the experience is great and you actually get to use some of the knowledge that you learned in merchandise and design classes.

Executive Intern
June - August 2019 • Mesa, AZ
What I liked
I was able to hone in my leadership style and gained a ton of confidence leading my team throughout the store. I also had a mentor who I consider to be my mentor for the rest of my career. I was able to have a lot of conversations with him about my struggles and strides with my team. Overall, I learned so much about myself and what I want to do with my career. I also had the opportunity to meet several regional directors and one of the Vice Presidents of Target.

I would say to not be afraid to be super open to feedback and learn from the feedback.
