I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Target (Riverview, FL) in May 2009
Interview
I applied online and received an email with an interview time. The first interview was a 1 on 1 located in their in store Starbucks. Work on those situational questions because that's all it was! "Tell me about a time when you had to work in a team." "Tell me about a time when you disagreed with your manager." "Tell me about a time when you went above and beyond for a guest." I didn't think I did very well but still moved on to the next step. A second interview was done on the same day with a manager...more situational questions and questions about your past work experience. They let me know right after if I got the job. After that you have 48 hours or so to complete the drug test. The final step was a group orientation including cashier training. After an hour I was checking out guests on my own. Scary but after awhile you'll be a pro!

The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Target (Phoenix, AZ) in Apr 2011
Interview
I applied for the position online and received a call a few days later to come in for an interview. I came in and went to guest services as instructed. When I told one of the team members that I was there for an interview, she told me to go to the computer to take a short questionnaire on what I would do in different situations. When I went back to guest services, one of the team members told me that she would be conducting the interview. She had a blank look on her face and didn't seem to be very happy to be at work. I went back and had an interview with her. She just read from a page word for word and took notes on her paper. After she completed her questions she told me that I was going to interview with a salaried executive team member. The next interviewer walked in an immediately said that he normally does not do interviews since he works the night shift. The interview with him was a bit more relaxed, but with the same type of situational questions. The whole process was very blah and none of the team members seemed like they wanted to be at work. I received an email a few days later I received an email saying that they could not offer me a position at this time, mind you I have three years of high volume retail experience and was well qualified for this position.
