Interview
I was interviewed, and eventually hired, for an entry-level cashier position. The interview process was very straightforward and not stressful. I met with first an HR rep who asked me about my availability. I explained my situation with school and she was very candid and nice. Waited for a bit then was interviewed by the hiring manager. This was the "real" interview. Again, she was very nice. Asked fairly simple and common questions; "Name a situation in school/work where you had to overcome a difficulty.", "What would your previous supervisor say about you." things like that. Next I met with the head of HR who, again, was nice. She simply asked me about myself, what I'm studying in school, things like that. Overall it took no more than an hour and was not stressful. People at Target are awfully nice, which might throw people off but don't let it. Oh yeah, they have you watch a kind of training video. Pay attention because I was asked a couple questions from that. Sort of like a quiz but not too hard. Just pay attention.

Question 1
Most unexpected question was from the video I watched. Didn't think they'd expect you to pay attention but they do.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Target in Apr 2013
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.
