I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Target (Minneapolis, MN) in Aug 2009
Interview
There is an initial phone interview through HR. They are extremely nice and will guide you through the interview process. The interview is more around your background, why you are interested, skill sets, etc.
Then they fly you to minneapolis for 1:1 interviews. I had about 6 interviews one after another including a lunch interview. It is behavioral: tell me a time when you had a conflict; tell me a time when you had too much to do with little time to do it; tell me a time when you made a mistake
Once that is over, they take you to do a skills test. This is like a mini SAT test. Verbal and math. In the meantime, they deliberate if they liked you or not. If they do, they will bring you in for one last interview with the director of the group. Again, this is a behavioral interview.
After that, you are set. :)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me a time when you had to make a decision with little or no information
I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Target in Mar 2011
Interview
Met with HR reps at a local college career fair day - I went prepared to offer a high energy 30 second pitch and it worked out. I was scheduled for 1:1 interview the next day with a senior manager and it was the same scenario - bring lots of energy. Heard back two days later to be invited to a super day at headquarters. They paid for my meals and hotel. Offer was made within a week.

Question 1
If you were a capital planning manager what process would you go through in analyzing the Canada expansion project? (not unexpected but they drilled down quite a bit on this Q)
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Target in Feb 2011
Interview
Job Fair -> 1 on 1 with a Senior level manager -> Super day (Panel interview, 2x 1 on 1 interviews, group tours)
Overall, target is a very exciting place for a potential employee to visit. The culture is friendly and welcoming. Managers and VP's are "cool" enough to take the time to meet with you too!
Interview questions [2]
