I spent the tail end of 2020 working a seasonal retail position at Target which was really a fun and different experience for me. I met a lot of amazing people, learned a LOT about retail (I worked in a few restaurants early in my career, but never retail), and got a lot of steps in. I filled online orders for drive ups, pick ups, shipping, and assisted guests in finding their items. Did you know there may be a distribution center in the back of your local Target?! It was news to me! I may have packed and shipped your purchase this past holiday season.
