I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Montgomery, AL) in Sep 2014
Interview
First interview I was interviewed by two supervisors and was extended the offer to come back and interview with another supervisor since they were not available at the time. The second interview I was hired on spot.

I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Target (Saint Louis, MO) in May 2015
Interview
The online application has a fairly lengthy multiple choice personality test. If you pass that, they call and set up a phone interview. Mine only lasted about 10 minutes. An HR manager asked me first why I wanted to work at Target, then described the job and asked if I was willing to fulfill all those duties. She then asked about 3 "tell me about a time" questions. At the end she said she liked me, and that she'd have someone else call to schedule my in-person interview. That began with a computer questionnaire. A few other people were interviewing and one of their two computers was broken so there was a bit of a backup. While we were waiting, the flow team lead came over to talk to us. Not formal interview, just introduced herself, talked a little about flow, and asked if there were particular areas we were interested in/had experience with. The questionnaire was harder than I expected. It was all math problems based on reading different types of graphs. Then there were a couple questions where the answers made absolutely no sense. One you were supposed to find a percentage, and all of the answers were some format like "=x2." I felt like I must have been missing something! I mentioned it afterwards to someone working there and they said it was not like that when they took it, and maybe there was an issue with that computer too. The ETL (store manager) then came out to get us 1 by 1. He first asked if I was willing to promote Cartwheel app and Redcard, and then what my former supervisor would say is my weakness. He then asked several more "tell me a time" questions. They were all fairly open ended. I think they are trying to get a sense more for who you are and how you work, than how you respond to those exact situations. He also made small talk throughout. At the end, he offered me a job. Then an HR person came in, had me sign off on pay, and told me about orientation and said they would call me to schedule it. Everyone was very friendly and professional.
Interview questions [5]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to explain a new product or idea to someone.
Got a phone interview then a interview at the store. They ask you simple situation experiences you had while working/or school. Not very hard just think about what you say before you start rambling on and on. Ask questions when needed and you will get the job
