I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Target (San Jose, CA) in Nov 2011
Interview
I sent in my app for the season last year, around November. In the app you have to answer a questionarre, This is to determine if you will fit into the environment. After my app I got a call within a week for an in person interview at the target store. At the interview I had to sign in on a sheet and fill out a situational questionarre. I waited with some others in another room waiting to be called in for an interview. When It was my turn I went into the first room, the guy was very nice and ask me situational questions like: "Tell me a time you had to work in a group" or "Was there a time that you did not get along with someone and what did you do to handle it?". After that I was told to go to another room, this was my final interview. The lady was super sweet and made me feel so comfortable, she asked me some general questions like: "Why do you want to work at target?" and one or two situational questions like: "Was there ever a time you felt like you had to much to do, what did you do to handle this?" "Have you ever made a mistake? How did you fix it?". Since I was the last interview I was told to go the room next door to talk to the HR manager, I got the job!

Interview
I applied mid September. A friend works at the one I was interested in working at and she asked HR to pull my app up. I was called the beginning of October. I was scheduled to have an over-the-phone interview on the 16th. The person who interviewed me over the phone was EXTREMELY nice. It wasn't a stiff conversation and she made it easy to understand the questions. She also laughed a lot which made me more comfortable. After completing the first interview, I was told to come in the next day for an in-person interview which was at 3pm. I arrived at abut 2:30 and was sat in a room with other applicants where I had to complete a questionnaire. Basic what would you do questions, easy. I was than called in by a really nice young man. He basically asked me the what would you do and name a time where questions similar to the over-the-phone one. I was asked if I had any questions in which I asked bout transitioning from Seasonal to Regular Part-Time and about students being able to move up even while attending school. After that in-person interview I was told to sit back in the waiting room to be called again. 2 minutes later I was called by a female who offered me the position and explained Drug Testing and Background Testing procedures, Pay and Orientation date.

Interview
I applied online and was granted an interview. Before the interview I had to finish an online questionnaire, and then I was interviewed by the Front End team leader then by someone from HR and finally I spoke with the store manager. The questions mostly dealt with examples of how I had dealt with working with other people or reacted in difficult situations before.
