I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Bethlehem, GA) in Mar 2014
Interview
2 Interviews, over the phone, and in person; with the manager over the position. It went very smoothly, and I had thought I had the job.
The Interviews where quite easy, but I would recommend following up to make sure you secure the position.

Interview
I applied online to 3 different positions. A few days later I received a call regarding one of those positions (flow team, overnight)—asking if I was still interested and what pay rate I would like, as well as confirming when I could work. My phone interview was scheduled for 11:30pm the next day, so I had about 36 hours to prepare. They called 15 minutes early, and the phone interview only lasted about 15 minutes as well. I had researched behavioral interview questions and was probably TOO prepared, but that's (more than) okay. They scheduled me to come in the following day at 11pm for my in-person interview with the ETL as well as watching a video and taking an assessment. This second interview was also brief and easy, but the assessment was more challenging for me because I've never worked retail. There were scenarios like what would you be most likely and least likely to do when you're helping one person and another person shows up, if you caught a co-worker stealing, etc. The second half of the assessment was all math specific to logistics, such as knowing how to read basic data tables and line graphs as well as how to work with percentages. Most of the stuff revolved around comparing three flow team members' productivity in a given week or comparing shipment size. Nothing tough if I'd had a scratch sheet of paper, but doing it all in my head really slowed me down. I then came in three days later to talk with the head of HR and an HR team member. They explained the position some more, asked if I wanted to accept it, told me to take the drug test within 24 hours, and told me training would happen two weeks from now. Took the drug test so now I wait.

Question 1
Something along the lines of: Talk about a time that you were in a leadership position and what you could've done better.

Interview
Applied online and I received a mini interview over the phone two days later. I was told the bare basics about the job: come in at 4 a.m. and unload the truck and stock shelves. I was asked if I was still interested and I said yes. First interview was scheduled the following week. Met with a Flow Team Leader (?) And 4 behavioral questions were asked e.g. "Tell me about a time when...What you did to accomplish...what was the outcome...". Google "behavioral interview questions" for a more in depth explanation. Second interview was scheduled for the following week but was canceled the day before and was told to expect another call the following week. Finally received the call to set up the second interview with a supervisor (also told to report 15min early for an assessment((a quick math test)). Similar questions were asked again with the added strength and weaknesses questions, why Target, etc...I was then told to come back the following day for the conditional job offer/drug test. The following day I was told the offer was being extended and I was given my pay rate and what to wear on orientation along with a form to take to the drug testing site. As of today, 4/9/14, I'm still waiting for the call to show up for orientation.
