I applied online. I interviewed at Target (Danforth, IL) in Dec 2012
Interview
I've applied online in October 2012. 2 days later I got an online assessment. On online assessment all questions were behavioral based like there were different scenarios and i had to choose my response according to that. In few question I had to choose both best and worst responses. I think that were the trickier part for me. After the submission of assessment I got an email to schedule for interview.

I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Target (Houston, TX) in Dec 2012
Interview
I filled out the online application and it took a little over a week before I got a call from someone wanting to schedule an over the phone interview. He double checked my open availability and then set up a time I could expect a call. He set it for ten am, but said it could be as late as 12, and asked if I could keep a two hour window open, in case anything happened. On the day I was supposed to get the call, I didn't get it until 1130 because they were having technical difficulties. The phone interview only lasted about 15 minutes. It was very basic questions (I'll list all the ones I remember below) and I was asked to come in for a face to face that day. I came in and had to take a short assessment quiz, and then watch a very short video about Target and what they expect from their "team members". Afterwords I had my face to face interview. The woman interviewing me was very sweet and friendly, just like the other two people I had spoken with, she asked me very basic questions, had me sign a paper agreeing to my open availability, and offered me the job. The next step is talking to the HR manager who takes care of all those details. Some more paperwork, discussion of your wages and hours, and then you're sent to take a drug test at another place,and now I'm just waiting to start.
