I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Target (Orlando, FL) in Mar 2010
Interview
I was referred to the Hiring Manager for Target in my area. She communicated regularly for about a week about how to apply, where to apply and how to prepare for an interview with a company like Target. The phone interview consisted of past work experience/eduation questions. They asked would I be interested in relocating, working long hours/weekends/holidays. I was asked if I wanted to continue the interview over the phone or in person at a store so that I could get a tour also. I decided to take the in person interview which was much harder. I was asked the usual questions, however the questions leaned more toward "Are you a leader?" I listed my experience which was limited but also stated that I was ready and willing to learn. I got a detailed tour w/ the store manager who was cordial at all times. I thought I had the position and when I asked when could I expect to receive follow up I was told within a week. I never did. I even called back but the manager was "out of town".

Interview
About two weeks after I placed an application for ETL, I got an email from a Store Leader informing me of an opening at his store in regards to the position I applied for. After confirming that I was still interested, I was scheduled for a 1:1 Interview with the Store Leader himself. I stayed up the night before learning the history of Target and more information that I would ever really need to know about the company (in otherwords, I was well prepared.)
The interview started with the question "So tell me about yourself?" to break the ice. I let him know about my undergrad work and work experience. Then he asked me why I choose to apply to Target. Then, like other people's experience, I was asked a few behavioral questions, such as "Name a time in which you had to inform your manager he was wrong." After the interview was over, he let me know he would get in touch with me within 24 hours. I felt good leaving the interview. Not sure how I could have done any better.
The SL kept his promise and called me within 24 hours of the interview. He let me know that he didn't think I was a "good fit" for the ETL position and that he had a different position in mind for me...Team Leader, which is an hourly supervisory position. He let me know it was a better fit for someone who was new to the company and needed to learn a little more about Target. He also let me know I would have to go though the interview process again if I was interested.

Interview
Had three different interviews at the group office with different district leaders. All the interviews consited of behavioral based questions "tell me about a time when" . Each interview i had two people interviewing me which made for me to be more nervous but as long as you prepare once you start talking the nervousness will disappear. Make sure you let your personality shine through because thats what there looking at.
