Sun News January 15
Target was a new lead store in Maple Ridge (yes I know this states volumes as Maple Ridge is very green environmentally but not so 'green' economically) and therefore a new tenant will be needed at the downtown location (not far from this locale).
Maple Ridge is no Vancouver.
I will with hesitation state, that with very much hesitation, when I was looking for career alternatives, prior to earning my security licence, I considered applying at Target Canada and the new Maple Ridge store.
Mr. Bobby Buff (let him take some of the blame) had suggested that I apply at Target.
I considered with my education applying for management training and therefore attempted to work through the Target Canada website.
Again with very much hesitation.
I have applied for many employment opportunities online, but this was one of the worst websites I have attempted to navigate.
I doubt I even officially applied in the end as the site worked so poorly.
For example, under employment history, I would type 'Homecare' or 'Homecaring' as in working on behalf of my disabled and deaf Mother that lives downstairs. This Target Canada website would not accept either and instead I had to choose an actual homecaring company.
To choose one would not to truthful, would it? Why would the site not have self-employed as an option?
This data entry worked the same for other entries. I think in the end I completed all I could with the application, frustrated by the lack of professionalism on the site and abandoned the site.
Instead, I wrote an essay by email, separate from the site, describing my qualifications and what I would be looking to offer to Target Canada.
They responded within a few days with a generic email that the store would be opening soon.
The store now closed two years later...
Therefore, based on my limited experience with Target Canada and the news I have read since the entry into Canada; this recent news is not surprising.
Condolences for those that have lost employment.
Around the web...
