I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Target (Enfield, CT) in Jul 2013
Interview
I am going to post this in as much detail as possible, but it's really just summing up what a lot of other people have said.
Applying
I applied online on June 24th for a few different positions, basically whatever they had open.
I got a call about a week later to set up a phone interview with a Team Leader.
Interview Round 1
I had my phone interview with the Team Leader a few days later. It was more of a "get-to-know-you" than anything else. Questions were:
-Why Target?
-Tell me about a time you had to work in a team.
-Tell me about a time when you had multiple projects due at the same time.
I passed the phone interview and scheduled an in-person interview for the beginning of the next week.
Interview Round 2
I arrived about 5 minutes early and took a very, very simple personality/math test. If you got through all of the application, you should have absolutely no trouble with this.
Then, I was shown to the employee area for an interview. After being directed to wait in the break room for a little bit, an Executive Team Leader took me to their office and interviewed me. In addition to the questions above, I was also asked a lot of STAR questions, including:
- A woman is looking for a shoe for her son, but the right size isn't on the shelf. What would you do?
-You're ringing up a customer and an item rings up at $19.99 but the customer swears the price was $18.99, what would you do?
After that, I was taken to wait in the break room once again. This time, a person from HR came to get me, took me to their office and offered me the job - conditional on passing a drug test at a lab and a background check. (IMPORTANT: The drug test has to be done within 24 hours, so plan accordingly!) Signed the paperwork and I was hired!
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Target (Orlando, FL)
Interview
I applied in store and waited about two days before I called to check my application status. They transferred me to the HR lady and she scheduled for an interview while we were on the phone. I went it and met with someone (who was from a different store because the woman from this store was out for the day). Two interviews with two different women; expected/typical questions. Didn't hear anything for two weeks, then I got a call while I was in class saying come in because they wanted to offer me a position. Went in that day, discussed pay, and had to take a drug test within 24 hrs. Started work the next week.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Wilmington, NC) in Jun 2013
Interview
One phone interview where I was lead to believe this would be a regular position with 40 hrs per week. Then an in person interview where I was told it was seasonal and possibly up to 40 hrs. Not too bad so far. Process was pretty short.
