Interview
I recently had my first-round interview for a Data Analyst Internship at Target, and I wanted to share my experience!
The interview started with a brief introduction and an overview of the role. The interviewer then asked me a mix of behavioral and technical questions to assess my skills and approach to problem-solving.
The interview concluded with me asking a few questions about the role and company culture.
Overall, it was a structured and engaging interview.

Interview
Initially received a call from the HR recruiter to set up a phone screening. The screening was about 20 minutes and just basic information, trying to get to know who you are and what you're looking to do. The conversation ended with setting up a phone interview. This took place the following week and the interviewer was extremely nice. Talked about me, talked about him, talked about the job/location/culture of Target. Questions were all behavioral based and the interview lasted about 30 minutes + 10 minutes of small talk afterwards.
