The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Target (Fairfax, VA) in Oct 2009
Interview
I applied online and with in a week I got a phone call asking to come in for an interview. When I walked in they gave me a 10 question personality test. Mainly with questions about my work ethic, After turning that in I had to go through three different interviews from Team Leads who work in different sections around the store. I'm a very open person so it was super easy and comfortable for me. Simple questions like "what could you work on", "What did you not like about your last job", "what do you expect from this one??" etc. After wards I was asked to wait while all three Team Leads talked and then was asked back in and got a job offer. After I accepted I had to take a drug test with in 24 hours and wait for my background check to go through. Started working 2 weeks after I got a job offer.
Standard process, STAR method is good to use in interviews like this. Wear nice clothing not too dressed up not too formal and be friendly. Positive environment not super high pressure
