Interview
I submitted an application online and got a call to set up an interview about a week later. My interview was in the early morning and the first thing I did was take a standard test with workplace situations (ex: Is it ever okay to steal from the company?). I then went and waited until I was brought into a back room in the employ-only area, where I watched a video about Target. It proved useful to pay attention to this, as the answers to situational questions were found there. I was then taken to a back room where my first interview took place. The interviewer went through the standard questions then moved onto situational questions. There were mostly asking for specific examples that followed the format of: the situation, the steps you took to resolve it, the resolution, what you learned, and the outcome. These were fairly easy and I was soon taken to another room to do a second interview. This interview followed the same format with slightly more specific situational questions. I was offered the job on the spot and filled out and went over the technicalities in store.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would you do if a guest disputed the price of an item?
I applied online. I interviewed at Target (Gurnee, IL)
Interview
It was overall very typical but very friendly. They ask about your previous jobs, school, goals, etc. They also will give you three scenarios they want you to answer/talk about. I remember one question they asked was "when was they last time you received amazing service and what made it amazing?"

Question 1
None of them were difficult, just be honest and keep your cool.

I am going to post this in as much detail as possible, but it's really just summing up what a lot of other people have said.
Applying
I applied online on June 24th for a few different positions, basically whatever they had open.
I got a call about a week later to set up a phone interview with a Team Leader.
Interview Round 1
I had my phone interview with the Team Leader a few days later. It was more of a "get-to-know-you" than anything else. Questions were:
-Why Target?
-Tell me about a time you had to work in a team.
-Tell me about a time when you had multiple projects due at the same time.
I passed the phone interview and scheduled an in-person interview for the beginning of the next week.
Interview Round 2
I arrived about 5 minutes early and took a very, very simple personality/math test. If you got through all of the application, you should have absolutely no trouble with this.
Then, I was shown to the employee area for an interview. After being directed to wait in the break room for a little bit, an Executive Team Leader took me to their office and interviewed me. In addition to the questions above, I was also asked a lot of STAR questions, including:
- A woman is looking for a shoe for her son, but the right size isn't on the shelf. What would you do?
-You're ringing up a customer and an item rings up at $19.99 but the customer swears the price was $18.99, what would you do?
After that, I was taken to wait in the break room once again. This time, a person from HR came to get me, took me to their office and offered me the job - conditional on passing a drug test at a lab and a background check. (IMPORTANT: The drug test has to be done within 24 hours, so plan accordingly!) Signed the paperwork and I was hired!
