"At my first job, I had a typical 90-day probation period when I started, but everyone knew pretty quickly I was a top performer after week one. That's when I learned the term Clutch-Player. I never heard that until everyone started calling me that. In fact, at my second job, Clutch became my nickname. I rose through the ranks in my department, but I didn't do that on my own. My team was the best team one could hope for."

It can be intimidating knowing how to market yourself in this regard. There is a fine line between sounding humble and coming off as arrogant or a braggart. Do your research. Find the commonalities between your ideals and ambitions and Target's core values and mission statements. Once you feel you have tapped into that, underline them in your answer.
