I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Target (Wesley Chapel, FL) in Oct 2014
Interview
I applied online during the summer (Around July). I got a call the end of October asking if I would be willing to do seasonal although I applied as Part Time. I said yes because I need a job. The woman on the phone asked me a few questions about availability, why I wanted to work as cashier, and experience. She then asked if I would be willing to do a phone interview. I said yes and she set up a time for the next day. The next day another woman called, 20 minutes late, and asked me to confirm my availability. She too asked me why a cashier and what experience I had. She then went over the duties of a cashier. After that she asked me three "explain a time when..." questions. (explain a time when you made a mistake and had to fix it.) (explain a time when you went above what someone thought of you) (explain a time when you had to juggle multiple things). After that she asked me if I would like to come in and have a face to face interview. I said yes and she scheduled it for the next week. On the day of the interview I went in early and was called right away. They took me to a room where I watched a short video about my position (pay attention to it, some interview questions can be answered from the video) I sat down with one woman and she once again confirmed my availability and made me sign off on it. She also asked why target. She asked what experience I had, if any, that would help. Then she asked some situation questions. (What would you do if an item rung up 19.99 but the costumer says it was 17.99)(What would you do if there wasn't a shoe in the size a customer wanted it) She also asked me questions regarding what I learned from the video. There were more situation questions but I do not remember. She wrote down my answers in the booklet she has. After that she tells you about the position, Red cards, etc. After that she brought me to the Store Leader to talk to her. She just mostly wants to meet you. But once again she asks why a cashier, what experience, explains Red Cards and so on. After that I was offered the job. I was sent down to another woman to set up orientation, explain the pay, what to wear, and so on. They stopped doing drug test this year; so, I didn't have to go do that.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Target in Nov 2014
Interview
The interviewing process was rather simple, granted if you pass the online questionnaire with high points. A shorthand way of approaching that part of the application is to remember that Target is seeking positive, helpful, team-playing individuals who undoubtedly see good in all people, especially Target’s guests. Keep that in mind while answering the questions and you'll do fine.
If you get a call for an interview, in person or on the phone, you practically have your foot in the door already. The questions were easy and they mostly regard past job experiences and what have you done or what you would do in x and y situations questions.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Target
Interview
I applied online and got a phone call. It was the typical interview questions. Why do you want to work here? What are your strengths and weaknesses? A week later I was scheduled to have an in person interview. They asked a lot of situational questions like : Name a time where yo had to put someone's needs before your own? What would you do on the occasion if a customer acted rude and got out of hand? It was a pretty easy interview overall.

Question 1
"You're ringing up a customer and an item rings up at $19.99 but the customer swears the price was $15.99, what would you do?"
