I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Alexandria, VA) in Oct 2009
Interview
Put in an application in the store. I was called in for an interview a couple weeks later. I did have to wait awhile before I was actually interviewed, about 45 minutes. During the interview they asked me about past jobs, to give examples on how I help out other employees if need be, etc. The interview concluded with me answering some questions on paper. About a week later I had to do a urine test.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Target
Interview
It was a mass interview at a hotel. When I arrived, I was seated in a waiting room with 6-8 other people who were also waiting for interviews. I was then called to the big room next door where there were several tables and other individual interviews occurring. The person who interviewed me had 2 pages of questions where she would ask me a question and wrote down my answer. It took probably 5-7 minutes. I was then seated back in the waiting room for 15 minutes and then had a second interview with a different person, which took much longer (10-15 minutes) because the questions required more lengthy answers. The first interview focused more on what I have done in the past whereas the second interview focused more on what I can bring to Target and what I would do in a certain situation. The answer they seemed to look for was an emphasis on customer service. My interview was 3 days ago and I am waiting to hear back from them.

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.
