I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Target in Oct 2014
Interview
A 3 step series of interviews. I spoke with them at a on campus recruitment fair then had an interview the next day.
First interview- 2:1, with younger HR reps who were both alumni from my University. All situational based, know your leadership skills. Followed a questionnaire format and too bad.
Second Round- 2, 1:1 interviews with managers at a local Target store. Pretty much the same format as the first question wise. These were a little more "dry" as the interviewers were in store employees and not HR.
Final Interview- Phone interview. A phone interview as a final interview threw me off a bit. It followed exactly the same format as the others, being 100% situational/behavioral based.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me what my relationship was with a family friend who works at Target. Very awkward and wasn't sure how to respond.
In my experience, I had one Phone interview with a recruiter who I spoke to several times coordinating and preparing for two Zoom interviews completed virtually with managers you will likely work with in your role.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Target (San Diego, CA)
Interview
multiple rounds of phone interviews and video calls. Questions centered around behavioral and situational. Interview at all levels with managers from store to regional level. questions were not hard but do require a lot of thinking and planned responses.
