I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Riverhead, NY) in Jun 2013
Interview
I applied online on the target website. I was worried because I'd never had an on-the-books job before and usually companies don't even look at me However, about two days later, I received a phone call by the HR department and we set up an interview for the next week! I went in for the interview and talked to a couple Team Leads, and it felt more like a conversation than a pressured interview. I was offered the job after talking to the team leads (supposedly I was supposed to watch this video and get asked about it but they goofed on that one) and had to take a urine drug test within 24 hours. Since I passed that, I became a cashier at Target for the summer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Behavioral questions were awkward since I didn't have a lot of experience, especially when they asked if there was a time where I worked with an unbearable person and how I resolved the situation. They were very patient, so it still was not pressured.
Was just a quick 10 minute call from the store manager, didn't take long at all. He asked if I had the availability he was looking for and if I could be punctual. Smooth process
It was overall very brief from applying to hearing back. Was just a day of meeting with a couple managers and talking through a cashier job. Nothing too out of the ordinary for a role like this.
It was interesting. Not hard at all, straightforward, and pretty open people. It was an okay interview and what you’d typically expect. So don’t stress stress it, I mean kinda try your best
