The interview process is what has been described here at GlassDoor. Initial phone interview, skills type of test, and in-person interview consisting of 5 behavioral type questions some of which are in other reviews. It was question/answer, question/answer with very little discussion which is quite different than other interviews that I have been through. Having talked with some HR professionals, the questions that Target asks aren't necessarily the best way to get the people that they are supposedly looking for. The interviewer was polite, but did seem uninterested in being there. It seemed throughout the process that they were going through the motions. I have known several people in higher leadership roles within Target, and they all said similar things to me, "we could use someone with your skills and experience". The funny part is that I look at the ETLs at my local Target and they fit what has been said here...kids right out of college with no work experience, no life experience, no leadership skills, no communication skills, and no business skills. I have witnessed ETLs who don't know their own areas of responsibilities or the stores where they work which is pretty sad. Target may have done me a favor in all reality. I can continue to pursue other and better opportunities. The best part is the form email that I got from Target HR that classified me as an external candidate even though I receive a small amount of compensation from them instead of unemployment benefits.

Got the interview from a career fair. Met with one person who handled hiring and had a great conversation and had one other phone interview. Asked me relevant questions and I was excited about the role
