I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Target (San Diego, CA) in Apr 2018
Interview
After sending my application online, I called the Target location I applied to and asked for a follow up. The HR staff looked through my resume and scheduled an interview for the same week. On that day, I met up with their HR manager who asked questions from a packet that they had. Mostly situational questions, "what would you do if.../when,.."
I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Target in Dec 2017
Interview
was called in by hr for an interview with the store manager and the sales floor manager. didnt wait too long to be directed to the interview. was not aware it was for a manager role until they stated it as we went through the job description. what was posted on indeed had no clear indicators it was for a manager role but i had the background so i didn’t complain. General managerial questions and tests of how much i understood visuals. We toured the store and I was asked to identify specific visual points throughout the store. back to the office and first interview over. maybe a week later received a call for a second interview with the district. Meet with them and went straight to the sales floor, pretty much the same thing as the first interview but only like 3 questions total. back to the office and was told to wait for the SM. Was offered the position that day.

Interview
I was called by someone in HR. I came in for the interview that following week. When I first walked in I went to the Customer Service desk because I was unsure of where to go for my interview. The lady at the desk then called someone in the HR department and everyone seemed to be unsure of who would actually be conducting my interview. I waited a least 45 minutes in their little cafe place because the lady that interviewed me was taking her time or unaware that she would be interviewing me. She asked me basic questions. My past with customer service, visuals, etc. There were a lot of situational and behavioral questions. We then walked around the store and she led me back to the HR office where I interviewed with the HR manager. She asked about 3 questions. All of which were the same questions I had just previously been asked. I was told I would hear back when the regional director was available to interview me. A few days later I received what looked like an automated e-mail that stated I was not the right fit for the job. I also kept receiving this same e-mail for about a month!
I asked this location to forward my application to another location because it can only be in one location's system or something like that. Basically, no other location would even invite me for an interview because this place screwed me.
