      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Target (Minneapolis, MN)

      Interview

      Had recruiter interviews that went well and got good feedback mentioning they were likely to move me forward. But when the actual team interview came around they rejected me immediately. Like they had a plan to use my interviews to ensure they’re doing what they need just to hire internally. Was a bummer for good promise
