Interview
Target called a day or two after my application had been submitted to set up a date for an interview. The initial interview lasted about 30 minutes with a Team Leader, someone who would be my immediate supervisor. Questions consisted of very basic personality questions. "When did you help someone?" , "How did you deal with a stressful situations?" etc. This was immediately followed up with an interview with Store Management, asking almost exactly the same questions. Both store management and team leaders were ver y optimistic, friendly, almost bubbly young women. The entire process took about an hour and half. I received a phone call the next day offering me a job on the Sales Floor, not cashier, which was the position I originally interviewed for. I accepted the position of a Sales Floor Team Member.

Interview
I had two interviews. One with the general interviewer and then another with the Leader the Cashier dept. First one was really just to determine all the basic stuff, days/hours available, just kinda going over your application and a few scenario questions. Second seemed more like a way to see if you would be a good fit.

Interview
I received a call to come in for an interview fairly quickly after submitting my application. Initially I was worried because I had been unable to put my actual availability into the online application so I went into the interview with my interviewer believing I had open availability. Fortunately, I was able to explain the situation right away. I had about a 25 minute interview with the woman who will be my team leader. It could have gone faster, but I paused a little to recall situational examples. The team leader was extremely nice and we laughed a bit together and she shared with me some of her own interviewing experience.
Afterwards I was told to wait for an interview with a manager. I didn't wait very long and the interview was even shorter. This had me worried because the man seemed like he had a million other things to be doing and that interviewing was not something he really wanted to spend time on. However, while I was waiting for the HR person to talk to me, the manager came back and gave me a piece of chocolate.
By far the most stressful part of the interview was the drug test. I had my interview at 12:00 on a Friday and the lab that facilitates the testing closed was only open from 1:30 to 3:00 that day and closed for the weekend (if you don't get your drug test in before 24 hours you are automatically bumped out of the system). So I had to rush down to the testing facility and get my test done and then rush off to my class that started at 2:00. Goodness!
