I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Target (Eau Claire, WI) in Dec 2010
Interview
My background is HR but I wanted to go out of the box and see what else was available in my community. I applied for the Executive Team Leader position and within 5 days a recruiter contacted me by email and wanted to set up a phone interview. The phone interview was about 30 minutes long and consisted of questions that dealt with leadership abilities, dealing with conflict, improving efficiency and overcoming challenges in the work place. In many places where we work it is hard for us to personalize projects/accomplishments but in this case it was important that I talked about myself and not about "the company".

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Target (Charlotte, NC)
Interview
It was a two step interview process. Personable and you are able to interview with not only your direct managers but theirs as well. Provides transparency into your new team. My interview was virtual because I was moving to the area, but I'm sure they do in person for local folks.
