Applying for job that’s asks for 150 characters to say what makes me unique (and to be creative/catch their eye). Where do you go with this? Professional or personal focus? It’s basically 2 sentences.

Note a cover letter is also included so I’ve covered some basics in there

They might not fit in the text box. Or if they do, it’ll probably get cut out later. I wouldn’t risk it.

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.

Should I accept the offer or renegotiate?

Hi! I have a quick question and could use some advice:
