I applied online. I interviewed at Target (Gurnee, IL)
Interview
It was overall very typical but very friendly. They ask about your previous jobs, school, goals, etc. They also will give you three scenarios they want you to answer/talk about. I remember one question they asked was "when was they last time you received amazing service and what made it amazing?"
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
None of them were difficult, just be honest and keep your cool.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Target (Enfield, CT) in Jul 2013
Interview
I am going to post this in as much detail as possible, but it's really just summing up what a lot of other people have said.
Applying
I applied online on June 24th for a few different positions, basically whatever they had open.
I got a call about a week later to set up a phone interview with a Team Leader.
Interview Round 1
I had my phone interview with the Team Leader a few days later. It was more of a "get-to-know-you" than anything else. Questions were:
-Why Target?
-Tell me about a time you had to work in a team.
-Tell me about a time when you had multiple projects due at the same time.
I passed the phone interview and scheduled an in-person interview for the beginning of the next week.
Interview Round 2
I arrived about 5 minutes early and took a very, very simple personality/math test. If you got through all of the application, you should have absolutely no trouble with this.
Then, I was shown to the employee area for an interview. After being directed to wait in the break room for a little bit, an Executive Team Leader took me to their office and interviewed me. In addition to the questions above, I was also asked a lot of STAR questions, including:
- A woman is looking for a shoe for her son, but the right size isn't on the shelf. What would you do?
-You're ringing up a customer and an item rings up at $19.99 but the customer swears the price was $18.99, what would you do?
After that, I was taken to wait in the break room once again. This time, a person from HR came to get me, took me to their office and offered me the job - conditional on passing a drug test at a lab and a background check. (IMPORTANT: The drug test has to be done within 24 hours, so plan accordingly!) Signed the paperwork and I was hired!
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Target (Orlando, FL)
Interview
I applied in store and waited about two days before I called to check my application status. They transferred me to the HR lady and she scheduled for an interview while we were on the phone. I went it and met with someone (who was from a different store because the woman from this store was out for the day). Two interviews with two different women; expected/typical questions. Didn't hear anything for two weeks, then I got a call while I was in class saying come in because they wanted to offer me a position. Went in that day, discussed pay, and had to take a drug test within 24 hrs. Started work the next week.
