I applied online. I interviewed at Target (Tampa, FL) in Oct 2012
Interview
After applying in store and answering couple questions, I got a call about 10 days later. I set up the interview 8 days later. Before the interview, you have to go to the application computer to complete an assessment that will take you about 15 minutes. Then you go to the Guest Service and they will tell you where to go. When I came they were in the middle of a "huddle". After they were done, a lady brought me in a small back room. She asked many behavioral questions, and nothing about me. She never said a word and took notes while I was talking. When I was done, she got up and told me she would call or email within a week. At this point I knew I didn't get the job because I read you have a second interview right after. I gave a blank stare and left. Three days later I received a Target email "sorry, unable to offer you a position at this time". Process is overrated.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Fort Dodge, IA)
Interview
I was contacted and not even a week later was brought in for an interview. Since my interview was about a year ago i only had one interview, not the 5 or 6 they give now. It was a face to face interview with two team leads not at the same time. They were very friendly and made me feel at ease because i was a little nervous. After my interview they told me they would call me on a certain day. When they didn't call i thought that it had been a no and that they just forgot to call, however, i called them back and they said that my interview had to go through the higher ups so it was still not a done deal. I ended up calling two more times that same week to see if my interview had gone through and finally on the last call they told me to come in for orientation.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Knoxville, TN) in Aug 2012
Interview
After applying online they called me to setup an interview. I set my appointment at 12:00 It took them 30 minutes until the actual interview began. They than took me into a room in their offices and asked me a series of questions. There were a lot of essay questions, highly unnecessary for such a trivial job. I got an email a week later saying I didn't get the job. They will pay everyone 7.25 an hour and there is no negotiating. Seems like a very corporalt place to work that does not care about their employees, after several testimonials from current employees.
