      Cashier Interview

      Mar 16, 2011
      Anonymous employee
      Hayward, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Target (Hayward, CA) in Mar 2011

      Interview

      I applied for Target online and got a phone call about 2 weeks later asking me to come in for an interview (the interview was on a Tuesday). Came in and had to take an assessment test. The questions were of the "what would you do" type. I only remember one, it was something like: You're trying to sell a product to a guest and you're sure you've got it down when another guest walks in. All other team members are busy. Would you a) ignore them and continue with the guest you're already helping. b) greet them and tell them you'll be with them in a minute. c) tell them another team member will be with them shortly. After the assessment, I had two interviews by two different people. They asked a lot of similar questions, all along the lines of "describe a time when..." They were writing what I was saying down and I noticed there were 3 different columns: "situation, action, and outcome." Something along those lines. So when you're answering a question, make sure to emphasize those three categories: what happened, what you did (right) and the end result. I was pretty comfortable during the interview and found it very easy because the guys interviewing me were super friendly. They cracked jokes here and there and were understanding when I'd have to pause and collect my thoughts. But yeah, that's basically it. Oh, and you have to take a drug test, so be prepared for that! Overall, the interview process for me was fairly simple/quick. I was interviewed on a Tuesday, took my drug test on a Friday, came for orientation the next Tuesday, and now I'm a Target team member! Good luck to all!

      There were a lot of people being interviewed together and it was long but to the point. The questions were direct but the process was long. Be prepared to be there for awhile.
