WHAT IS A FUN FACT ABOUT YOU?

My first job, after graduating from college, was for Target Corporation where my primary responsibility was to apprehend shoplifters and investigate employee theft.  I would walk around pretending to be a Target shopper, but I was really an undercover Target Asset Protection employee.  It was a lot of fun - no one ever suspected me, I caught a lot of people stealing and I got to shop all day long!
