I applied online on 9/15/2011 and received a phone call from Target later that same day. I had an interview the next day (9/16). I went in and was asked to take a test at a Kiosk that asked basic, "How would you react in this situation with a customer or co-worker?" questions.
After that I was asked to wait for about fifteen minutes or so, then was called back for a one-on-one interview. The guy that interviewed me was really nice and laid back. I had practiced questions that I looked up on this website beforehand, and it was sooooooo helpful. The questions were mainly based on past experiences, so it's super helpful to have a lot of examples in mind beforehand.
A couple that I hadn't prepared for, but still did okay on were:
Name a time you helped someone. What was the situation, behaviors involved, and result?
Tell me about a time when you realized after completing a project that you had made a mistake. What did you do about it?
I ended up using my conflict resolution answer for the helping someone else question, and it was fine. After my first interview, they checked to make sure the hours I had marked were correct. I asked if I could change from part-time to full-time, and they said that was not a problem at all, and changed the information on the sheet from 20 hr max/wk to 40 hr max/wk.
After that, the man took me to the Human Resources lady, who asked me basically the same kind of questions. After she finished filling out her paper, she asked me about my leadership experience and if I would feel comfortable leading a team of four or five people. We talked for a while, then she said they wanted to offer me the job, and that the starting pay would be $7.50/hr, with a performance review and chance for a raise and promotion in 90 days.
She gave me some paperwork to take to the drug testing lab at a separate location, and said they would call and let me know when orientation would begin - probably on 9/20/2011.
Overall it was a great experience. Everyone was super nice, and everyone I saw seemed happy to be working there, and like they liked their jobs - which is one of the reasons I wanted to work at Target. The best advice I can give is really practice the interview questions, and prepare your situational examples ahead of time, because it can be difficult to try to think of an example right on the spot. I spent an hour before the interview practicing, but a couple of hours probably would have been much better.
