I applied through university. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Target (Sacramento, CA) in Oct 2012
Interview
I applied through my school's career center website. I was contact via phone the next day. I returned her call the following day, after having reviewed the interview quuestions posted on this website. She returned my call within about 2 minutes. The questions she asked were not on this website. I will paraphrase them below. I asked about the interviewing process. She said there was this initial interview, then an assessment must be taken (Not explained), then 3 in-person interviews, and 1 more phone interview. I asked about training provided. She said there would be 6 weeks of hands-on training at full salary pay. She was very friendly, so I reccommend being confident, yet light-hearted and friendly. She said that she was going to take another look at my resume and get back to me with regards to whether she would want to move forward in the process with me or not. I will try to see if this site lets me update this post.
