The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Target (San Antonio, TX) in Jan 2008
Interview
You can apply online or at an in-store kiosk (I recommend the kiosk). If applying at the kiosk they usually have a red phone next to it, a screen might be displayed to pick up the phone and talk to an HR executive. At that point they will come out and set up an interview time. There is only one interview and it is mainly situational. They will ask questions such as "Tell me about a time when..." it's not difficult it just takes about an hour.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had a problem, how you resolved it and what was the outcome.
The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Target in Sep 2008
Interview
For starters, you have to fill out an incredibly long computer survey/questionnaire on a slow computer. This took at least an hour which is kind of shocking considering this is for a simple cashier position. After that, you get two 1:1 interviews. Then you're sent on your way and about a week later, you get the call for a position, which may or may not be specifically what you applied for.

Question 1
Describe a time that you had something difficult happen to you. How did you overcome it?
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Target in Jul 2010
Interview
I got there, filled out a little questionaire that asked what you would do in different situations, then a young guy interviewed me first and on his name tag, it said "trainee". He asked the typical behavioral questions and I absolutely hate those, probably why I didnt get the job. Some where "describe a time you had to work in a group to complete a goal, how did it turn out, etc etc" or "describe a time you had to go out of your way to address someone else's needs"...so that first interview took about a half hour, then I got a second interview immediately after that. Well I had to sit there for about 10 minutes before the manager came in. She asked pretty much the same questions. When we were done, she said in a couple days you will find out if you got the job. I received an email saying "unfortunately, we cannot offer you a position at this time and blah blah blah"
