Target to hire 100,000 seasonal workers for holidays

As the holiday season approaches, Target is gearing up to hire approximately 100,000 seasonal workers to assist with increased customer demand. This initiative was announced on a Monday, highlighting the company's commitment to enhancing customer service and operational efficiency during this busy period. The new hires will play crucial roles in supporting order pickup, drive-up services, stocking shelves, and facilitating purchases, ensuring a smooth shopping experience for customers. Starting September 25, individuals interested in these seasonal positions can apply through the dedicated website targetseasonaljobs.com. This recruitment effort is part of Target's broader strategy to prepare for the holidays, which includes offering a wide range of affordable toys, with over half priced under $20 and many under $5. The company is also introducing more than 1,000 new toy options from popular brands such as Disney, LEGO, and FAO Schwarz. In addition to hiring, Target is launching a week-long event for Target Circle members from October 6 to 12, featuring deals on holiday and fall items. This initiative aims to help consumers prepare for the upcoming festivities while also promoting customer loyalty through the Target Circle program. Furthermore, the store is currently running a car seat trade-in event, allowing shoppers to receive discounts on new car seats, strollers, or home gear items. With nearly 1,963 stores across the U.S. and two corporate campuses in the Twin Cities, Target is well-positioned to meet the demands of the holiday shopping season. The company's proactive approach in hiring and promotional events reflects its dedication to providing a positive shopping experience for customers during this critical time of year.
