Well Done, Target!

My younger sister attended her first college career fair this week. We enjoyed looking through the list of participating employers while searching for internships. Target® happened to be one of the companies exhibiting. Being a fan of the brand, I surfed on over to their careers site. Now, I like them even more. You must check it out for yourself and then send your students.
1. Go to www.target.com/careers
2. Click on Explore Careers in the left hand column
3. Choose a college major from the list
4. The site brings up a display of different Target employees. Click on any of them to hear more about what it is they do, how they came to work at Target and they’re description of Target’s culture.

I appreciate that clicking on a major brings up several people with a wide variety of careers and believe it’s useful for students to recognize there are a number of career pathways within each area.

Make it an assignment by having each student or group of students visit the site, choose a major and select the employee with the career they would most like to have.
