I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Kapolei, HI) in Jun 2016
Interview
I applied online and called 3 days later to follow up on the application. Received a call 5 days later asking if I was still interested, and why I wanted to work for Target. HR set up an appointment for me to be interviewed 3 days after that. I came in 10 min early, but ended up having to wait an extra 30 min sitting in the office as they were busy. My interviewer came in and brought me to a room with a table and 3 chairs, sat me down and said he'd be right back. He brought another team member to sit with us through the interview. She didn't say anything until the end when I asked them questions, not sure why she was there but it didn't put me off or anything. I answered everything honestly and the questions were easy -- mostly situational questions. I think the interview went very well, but at the end my interviewer told me they have a few other applicants to get through so HR will be giving me a call if I got the job. Waited 3 days and woke up this morning to an email saying they appreciate my interest but could not offer me a position at this time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
-Why do you want to work at Target, and not Kmart or Walmart?
-What experience do you have that qualifies you for the position you're applying for?
Then the situational-type questions:
-Tell us about a time that you had a conflict with another employee or management, and how did you solve it?
-Tell us about a time you were interrupted, and how did you get around it?
-Tell us about a time that you required help from someone more experienced than you.
-Tell us about a time that you had to motivate others around you to do well?
Pretty simple process. Went in and interviewed with the Team Lead, most questions were behavioral in nature. Ended up just chatting for a bit and I was offered the job on the spot, then was sent to talk to the Supervising Lead who verified a couple aspects of my application.
It was easy. Pretty straightforward. For a team member, I would not expect more which is actually a really good thing. The manager was nice as well and made the process easy.
I applied online. I interviewed at Target (San Bruno, CA)

Phone interview, and orientation right after. Not much else at the time. Scheduled for orientation with a few other people. After orientation, a drug screening scheduled, and was called back about a week or so afterwards to start work.
