I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Target in Aug 2013
Interview
I applied to Target on a Monday at the indoor application computer kiosk near guest services. I didn't expect to get called back because I had applied at Target various times before and never heard back. To my surprise, the very next day I received a call scheduling me for an over-the-phone interview for that Friday. During the phone interview they asked the same basic questions that are posted on Glassdoor (which helped me prepare for my interview). Also during the over the phone interview the Target RedCards were explained to me and I was asked if I would be okay with offering them to customers. After the interview I was scheduled for an in-person interview the following Tuesday. At the in-person interview I filled out a situational, multiple choice test on the computer kiosks asking what would be the best and worst response to a possible in store situation. I then went to the target team members backroom and waited about 5 minutes until I had my interview with HR. I was taken to the training room to watch a 5 minute video on Target's store policy and then was offered the job after answering more questions that were, again, already posted on Glassdoor. I was given drug test information, passed the test, and have my orientation this Friday. Process took about a week. Everyone that interviewed me was very friendly and I felt completely comfortable talking and even joking around during the in person portion. Just remember to smile, be friendly, and well-spoken. Their motto is fun, fast, and friendly :)

I applied online. I interviewed at Target (Miramar, FL) in Jun 2026

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.
