Jared's Big News!!!

In 2004, Jared and I were living in Radford going to college. Jared got a job at a local Target store because he wanted to have some money to purchase an engagement ring for me… awww! Anyway, he started off as a part time sales floor team member. Little did he know at that point Target would become his career.

Jared majored in business and became very interested in Target as a long time career opportunity. So, senior year of college, Jared applied for an Executive Internship with Target. He was accepted and had a great experience. He was offered an Executive Team Leader position at the end of the internship, but he decided to wait one year to start so he could get his Master’s Degree in Business Administration. Jared did the fast track MBA at Radford and then we moved to Fredericksburg so Jared could begin his “real” career. Since moving to Fredericksburg, Jared has held two different Executive positions with promotions. His goal was to one day be promoted to a general store manager (Store Team Leader/STL).

Recently, Jared has been getting closer and closer to reaching his goal. He has completed several interviews to become a STL. There was one final interview with the Regional Vice President that was yesterday morning. He felt very comfortable with the interview, but it was not until yesterday afternoon that he WAS OFFICIALLY SIGNED OFF AS A STL!!!!!

We will know more information about location, etc. very soon. I could not be happier for Jared. He works so hard and is so dedicated to his job. He is going to be a great store manager. I LOVE Target… not just because he works for them… it is just my favorite store for everything!!! There is no better company for Jared to work for in my opinion. They have always treated him very well and he is anticipating a long and happy career there!

Jared--- You are amazing and we are ALL so proud of you!

Now, let’s find ourselves a house! :)
