Interview
I applied online and was called back within a couple of days. There are two parts to the target interview and if you are hired then you will most likely be told at the end of the second interview. If you don't get a second interview or if you are told that they would make a decision and call you back, you probably didn't get it.
The first part of the interview was with a Team Leader and it was pretty much going over my application and common sense questions/answers.
The second part was with what Target calls an Executive Team Leader (ETL) and the questions were mostly scenario and "tell me a time when.." type questions.
After the interview with the ETL, a team member from HR came in and offered me the job (contingent upon a clean background check) and gave me instructions to take a drug test within a couple of hours.
After applying, HR will contact you over the phone and ask if you want to set up an interview. Then you will find out that it will be a phone interview. If you get passed the phone interview, you will get an offer to come into the store for an in store interview. If you pass the first in store interview you usually have a second one right after, that same day.

Interview
The whole process went a lot easier than I expected. Coming into the interview, I was very nervous having heard that we had to go through not one but three interviews. I couldn't be more glad that all the interviewers were super friendly and easygoing. When I would get nervous and stumble on my word they would encourage to keep going and said I could take my mind to think about the question if I needed to. For each interview, they asked 5 behavioral questions, all of which were posted on here. Surprisingly enough, the 3rd and final interview with the HR manager was the easiest. It was very laid back and felt more like a casual conversation.

Question 1
