I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Target in Nov 2010
Interview
interviewed for a ETL [position that wouldnt have started until jan 1st 2011, process started in october. started out with phone interview, immediately set up and continued with 2nd phone interview where i was asked 5 situational questions. Following that interview was told i would need to take an test online, which would take about a hour to complete. Consisted of 97 questions and would only take a hour if you didnt try, and just answered randomly, which probably would have left me with a better outcome. She told me on the phone that i would hear something late in the week after my assessment. that turned out to be 2 weeks and all i recieved was a email saying at this time they have decided to pursue another candidate. Love target and their atmosphere, however disliked their interviewing process, and the lack of respect the rep had for my time. How hard is it to do what you say your going to do? Since this experience ive debated on applying for other openings online, i think one would have better luck by going in store.

Interview
I applied in early November and did not hear back for a week. I was first called by a recruiter and asked about my interest in Target. A phone interview was scheduled a week later. During the phone interview, I was asked about my work experience and personal questions. I was then asked to take a skill assessment online. I completed the skills assessment and was called back two days later to schedule and interview. I was then called by another recruiter to schedule the interview. My interview was changed three times due to scheduling difficulties with the STL. I interviewed with a STL and the interview went very well I was asked several Behavioral questions. I was then called the next day and told to interview the next day with a DTL and HR partner. I interview there and was again asked behavioral questions. I was called within two hours and informed I had made it to the next step. Another interview was schedule with STL for the store was interviewing. That interview was scheduled within a week. I interviewed there with a mixture of behavioral and personal questions. At this point, I felt very confident the STL even went over what she wanted me to do if hired. I was told there was only one more interview. I was called then informed I would have to job shadow. I completed that over the weekend and had my final interview with the District VP and District HR Manager. I believe at this point, that I had done something wrong. My interview was ten minutes and only two questions were asked, usually they will ask 5+ questions. I was told I would receive a call with a week as Christmas was only three days away. However, on Christmas Eve they opened up the position on Taleo. I felt horrible my Christmas was ruined. All weekend I knew I did not receive the job to only receive the email this morning.
