I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Target (Enfield, CT) in Jul 2013
Interview
I am going to post this in as much detail as possible, but it's really just summing up what a lot of other people have said.
Applying
I applied online on June 24th for a few different positions, basically whatever they had open.
I got a call about a week later to set up a phone interview with a Team Leader.
Interview Round 1
I had my phone interview with the Team Leader a few days later. It was more of a "get-to-know-you" than anything else. Questions were:
-Why Target?
-Tell me about a time you had to work in a team.
-Tell me about a time when you had multiple projects due at the same time.
I passed the phone interview and scheduled an in-person interview for the beginning of the next week.
Interview Round 2
I arrived about 5 minutes early and took a very, very simple personality/math test. If you got through all of the application, you should have absolutely no trouble with this.
Then, I was shown to the employee area for an interview. After being directed to wait in the break room for a little bit, an Executive Team Leader took me to their office and interviewed me. In addition to the questions above, I was also asked a lot of STAR questions, including:
- A woman is looking for a shoe for her son, but the right size isn't on the shelf. What would you do?
-You're ringing up a customer and an item rings up at $19.99 but the customer swears the price was $18.99, what would you do?
After that, I was taken to wait in the break room once again. This time, a person from HR came to get me, took me to their office and offered me the job - conditional on passing a drug test at a lab and a background check. (IMPORTANT: The drug test has to be done within 24 hours, so plan accordingly!) Signed the paperwork and I was hired!
Standard process, STAR method is good to use in interviews like this. Wear nice clothing not too dressed up not too formal and be friendly. Positive environment not super high pressure

I applied online. I interviewed at Target (Miramar, FL) in Jun 2026
Interview
I answered 5 recorded interview questions and 1 Q&A. You get 2-3 mins to answer the 5 questions, and the Q&A has no time limit, it was surprisingly easy to prepare myself for.
