I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Target (Hialeah, FL) in Mar 2012
Interview
I applied online and got called the next day for an interview at the closest Target store to my house (less then 2 miles). The HR manager had me fill out an inquiry similar to the one you receive when applying online on the computer in the store and then conducted several interviews with different members of the staff. The first two interviews were with different department heads where they asked me questions about myself and my skills and certain situations that I might have experienced in a previous job then they wrote down my responses for the next interviewer. There were around 4 interviews conducted on the same day, the whole process took around 5 hours. The last two interviews were with the HR manager and the store manager then the final one was with the HR manager alone to discuss benefits, pay, etc.
The environment seemed really friendly and the staff looked like they get along really well, like a family. I would have loved working here but sadly the HR manager said that all they could give me was $8 an hour with my 6 years of experience in retail sales.
The interview were very straightforward and the atmosphere was relaxed. I spoke with a shift lead and then the HR manager. The questions were typical and there was some discussions.
This was a few years ago, but I just went in and spoke with the manager in their office. Very casual and quick interview. Only 1 interview was required which was nice!

Tell us about a time when you had to interact with customers
It was very quick and I was hired on immediately. I was a college student going to TAMU Galveston at the time. The team was pretty easy going but just not there to help me grow as an individual.
