I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Apple Valley, MN) in Oct 2010
Interview
I applied online as a cashier in early September. 4 weeks later, I received an email from the HR dept at the Target store in which I would have my interview. On the day of the interview, I went through two one-on-one interviews with Executive Team Leaders. At the end of the second interview, I was offered a seasonal conditional cashier position for the holidays, and was then scheduled for a drug/criminal background screening. After successfully passing both background checks, I was scheduled to start work at Target 2 weeks later.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain a time when you had to help a friend or a stranger in a work area where you had no previous experience and you had to meet a deadline. What was the situation, who were the people involved, what were the people's role, what was your role, how did you solve the situation, and what was the outcome?
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
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

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.
