I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Target (Alexandria, VA) in Sep 2025
Interview
The process was great. I was referred by one of the hiring managers to apply that I would see when in the store over a period of time, getting to know folks. Once I interviewed for the initial position, she thought I should interview for the Team Leader position.
So I did.
I was soon contacted by a regional recruiter who let me know I would be interviewing with the Store Director and a few days later I went in.
I met with the Store Director and one of the ETL's and the interview went great.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would be one of my strategies of handling Team Members who are used to doing things one way, but need direction and coaching to improve?
virtual interview questions where you record a video response. Situational based questions mostly to get a feel for how you respond to stress, accomplishing goals in a team and you’re ability to be flexible and pivot and be creative when problems present themselves. everyday is different and cross training departments is very common so being open to that and quick to learn is always valuable.

Describe how you have worked with another person to achieve a goal. Describe a situation, your actions, and the outcome.
Phone screen and then an in person interview with HR - basic get to know you questions and provided a lot of information on the hiring process. Very quick to hear back from them throughout the process.
