I applied online. I interviewed at Target (Los Angeles, CA) in Sep 2017
Interview
Over the phone interviews are always odd, I prefer a interview face to face. But the lady was nice and it lasted about an hour . Interviews should always be done face to face, easy to tell who you are hiring
I applied online. I interviewed at Target (Houston, TX) in Aug 2017
Interview
An interview was set up through an online process and you select the date yourself. The recruiters have a huge pool selection so your actual interview time may be delayed. My interview was delayed by 15 minutes.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Target (Des Moines, IA) in Apr 2017
Interview
First I was contacted by a Target recruiter and we had a phone interview. Questions were simple, like what is your background and why do you want to work for Target. I then had a second phone interview with that recruiter's boss. Questions were all STAR, so use the format situation - task - action - result to answer all of the questions. A few weeks later I was contacted by the store manager and went in for an interview with the lead HR director and the store director. The interviews were both pretty short, about 30 minutes each, with the same exact questions as each other and as the previous interview. Since only a few questions are asked, don't be afraid to really explain your answer using STAR. Afterwards, I was told they would be in touch by the end of the week about whether I got the position. I didn't hear anything for several weeks, and my emails were not being answered. About a month later I received a very generic denial email. The entire process took about two months.
