The video interview was strange and a complete waste of time. It wasn't that it was particularly hard, however, you had to record yourself instead of just having a conversation with someone. It was so time consuming.
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Target (Gainesville, FL) in Aug 2025
