Target applicants used to have to complete 704 true/false questions about everything from politics to their sex life.
Looking for a job, either as full-time, part-time or seasonal? Sounds like if you want to work at Target it's not easy to get in. An article by AOL suggests it's harder to get into Target than Harvard. Here's the process at a California Target, according to the article: "Target's hiring process for its new stores has been designed with military precision. Applicants take an on-spot assessment test, interview with two current employees, and are then escorted to the bathroom for an on-site drug test. If all goes well, they'll get a job offer, assuming their background check comes up clean." Have you, or are you planning on applying for a position at the Brentwood Promenade Target? A caller to the store is told to apply online. Do you have …

Three positions were eliminated this year. The fire chief says the cuts are due to the current economic climate and a new contract with Town and Country.
This year, three West County EMS and Fire Protection District positons were eliminated which resulted in three employees losing their jobs. Former Community Liason Officer Kim Bacon, who was laid off in November, tells Town and Country - Manchester Patch the layoffs are the result of a new contract the district negotiated with the City of Town and Country. West County EMS and Fire provides fire and ambulance service for Town and Country because the city does not have its own fire department. The contract, which takes effect Jan. 1, 2012, puts West County EMS at a $2.5 million loss over a period of five years, or half-a-million dollars each year. (Read Previous Story: New Fire, Ambulance Contract to Save Town and Country Millions) Last week…

A U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics report released Friday indicated the number of Americans in May who were unemployed for 27 weeks or more increased by 361,000 to more than 6 million.
According to the Employment Situation Summary report released Friday by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of Americans in May who were unemployed for 27 weeks or more increased by 361,000 to more than 6 million. More than 8 million Americans are considered “involuntary part-time workers,” meaning that they are working part time because their hours have been cut back or they were simply unable to find a full-time job. And, the report noted, 2.2 million people who wanted and were available for work were not in the labor force, even though they had sought jobs sometime within the past year. These people, considered “marginally attached to the labor force,” were not counted among the officially unemployed since they had not …
