About The Position

This is an On-Demand role where team members can work as much or as little as they like, with schedules varying based on shift availability and store needs. This role is ideal for those seeking a personalized work schedule. On-Demand Team Members are not included on the weekly schedule but can create their own schedule by picking up shifts posted by leaders or other team members via the myTime mobile scheduling app. Reliable and prompt attendance is necessary when a shift is picked up. Active engagement is required by picking up and working shifts once every 4 weeks (minimum of four hours). Flexibility can be granted in certain circumstances, but team members must respond to attempts to contact them to confirm interest in working shifts. Failure to respond may result in termination. Employment will be administratively terminated if no shift is worked within 5 months. Communication and the ability to work when business demands it are critical. New On-Demand Team Members are required to attend a Target Welcome orientation and commit to a short-term structured training schedule. After training, the myTime mobile scheduling app is used to pick up desired shifts. Advocates of guest experience welcome, thank, and exceed guest service expectations by focusing on guest interaction, loyalty enrollment, and store cleanliness. They are advocates of both in-store and digital services and solutions, knowledgeable about capabilities and features that drive adoption, usage, and guest loyalty. They are empowered to make shopping quick and easy for guests at checklanes, guest services, gift registry, pick-up, and drive-up while ensuring exceptional quality. At Target, team members have meaningful experiences that help them build and develop skills for a career. The role of a Guest Advocate provides skills and experience in communicating and interacting with guests, blending problem-solving and decision-making, adapting to different guest interactions, and promoting various benefits and offerings.
