I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Target (Warren, MI) in Jun 2012
Interview
Skills assestment test once I walked in. Then I went to the Target employee room to wait for my first interview. That was about 10 minutes. I went back to the employee room to wait for the second interview. She asked the same questions like the first guy and then she told me to go back to the room to wait for the supervisor then I was given a conditional offer and had to take the drug test within 24 hours. I am waiting for my orientation date because hey did not have one set. it was kind of weird because I recieved an orientation email like two days after the drug test but when I went to the store at the given time they were confused and told me it was probably was the main people at the headquarters but I have to wait for their Warren location to call me back. I guess they need to hire more people.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Target (Riverside, CA) in Oct 2011
Interview
Submitted my online application, and got a call the next day. Went in for my interview two days later. Had two interviews (both were easy-going and relaxed) that day, and I interviewed first with a supervisor, and then with a salaried member of management and got the job offer the same day. Seasonal employment.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Target in Sep 2009
Interview
I applied online and received a phone call maybe two weeks later, and had an interview the next day. I was asked to finish the applicant questionnaire which consisted of situation-type questions designed to see how I interact with co-workers as well as test my knowledge of simple math, like ratios, percentages, etc. I finished, and then waited around for my interviewer to see me, which turned out to be the first of two. The first asked me simple questions about why I wanted to work for Target, why I should be hired, and my work experience, of which I have none. She read every question out of a booklet and summarized my replies, which annoyed me a little. When I was called back I was not told which position I would be interviewed for, and since I had applied for t three different locations and positions, I was a little embarrassed to ask what I was being interviewed for. After that was done, I went on to my second interviewer, who I believe was the supervisor of some sort as he mentioned having two supervisors below him..
This one was much harder, and probably where I faltered the most. We went into a small office, where he asked me a few questions about myself (which I believe was him being polite, as he might've noticed I was a little nervous) and about where I was going to school. He was also text-messaging with another manager or supervisor, I'm not sure, but he apologized and I was not bothered by it. He asked me questions like: "Tell me about a time where you had to place the needs of others before your own" and "Tell me about a time you disagreed with a policy" and "Tell me about a time where you worked in a group" (That one I was expecting, the rest and all the other questions I struggled with as this was my first job interview.) After quite a few questions like those, he described the position and what would need to be done and some of the perks. Since I'm female -heavy set, but don't have much strength- I asked about the lifting and possible weight of some of the boxes, to which he replied that there are different roles and places to be assigned so I would not be expected to lift something beyond my abilities. After that, I was done and shook his hand and left. I did not receive a offer and later received an email stating they could not offer me a job.
