Very easy behavioral questions. Simple things like asking about past experiences, why you would fit, why target. Nothing too bad at all. Was also a hirevue so nothing crazy there. 3 attempts per question.
Common questions:
“Tell me about yourself.”
“Why Target?”
“Tell me about a time you helped a customer.”
“Tell me about a time you handled a difficult person.”

“How do you prioritize when you have multiple tasks?”
