      Cashier Interview

      Feb 5, 2014

      Atwater, CA
      Accepted offer

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Atwater, CA) in Nov 2013

      Interview

      I applied online, and was called a few weeks later to set up a phone interview. They gave me a day and time for the following week. They called me an hour and a half late for the interview, and the woman conducting it was very cold and un pleasant, but I did my best to stay positive so I wouldn't come off the same. The questions were simple things like "Tell me about a time that you had to work together in a group" and "What is something you've accomplished in your lift that you're proud of?" She said I would hear from them within a week if I was going to be offered the position. A week came and went so I figured I didn't get the job, thirteen days after the phone interview they called and asked me to come in and interview in person. Again, and date and time was scheduled. I arrived fifteen minutes early, and was taken to the break room to wait. forty minutes after my scheduled time I was called in by a manager. She had me watch a video on "what working for Target is all about" and then she asked me questions about my availability, my previous experience, and simple personality questions like "tell me about a time you made a mistake and what you learned from it." She asked me to come back an hour later to meet with another person for yet another interview, so I did, and that one wasn't really an interview at all, she just had me sign a paper saying if I was available on certain dates, and asked me to verify my address, and then I was sent back to the break room to wait again. Almost an hour later, I was called in by a woman from HR to sign paperwork, and I was told I would need to take a drug test at a company in the next town. Except after being there all day for the interviews there wasn't time to make it there to take the test that day, so I had to go back the next day to have that done. I was called a few weeks later to go to orientation, which was the most boring afternoon of my life! Nothing they show you in the videos matters at all, you'll forget most of it, or it just simply isn't implemented in the job at all, you sign stacks of paperwork, and listen to them read a bunch of stuff that truthfully doesn't matter at all. I was given my schedule for the next two weeks, and sent on my way. The first day consisted of taking two tests, one on hazardous materials, and one on alcohol, taken out to a register, given a training book, told I had an hour to read it and practice on the computer, and then I was put on a lane, by my self, and left on my own for the rest of the day.

      I interviewed at Target

      Interview

      It was overall very brief from applying to hearing back. Was just a day of meeting with a couple managers and talking through a cashier job. Nothing too out of the ordinary for a role like this.
