      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Ocean, NJ) in Nov 2018

      Interview

      Personally, I thought Target's interview process was great from start-to-finish. I would say it's a three-to-four phase interview process. First, it started with a phone screening to see if you'd be a good candidate. Just the next day was the official phone interview with the Target recruiter. The third and fourth interviews were the same day, back-to-back. I read each and every interview on Glassdoor and it helped me TREMENDOUSLY. Be prepared to answer SBO (situation-behavior-outcome) questions. They want to see what kind of problem you faced at work, what was the behavior you used to rectify the issue and what was the outcome. I prepared at least 10 questions from Glassdoor - most of them were asked during the interviews with slight variations in how they were worded, of course! After the last round of interviews, I heard back from the recruiter the next day saying I got the job but they needed a few days to iron out the details of my offer. From applying to my offer, it was just about a 3 week process. Both the recruiter and leaders who interviewed me were amazing - super friendly and professional. My biggest suggestion would be to go in there with as many SBO questions and answers in mind and to be yourself. It's great to prepare but they want you to be personable and approachable, not like a robot. Overall, a great interview process.

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Target in Feb 2026

      Interview

      Interviewed 4 rounds, was transparent each time about being available to start asap, looking for immediate employment etc. At the end of the 4th interview, I was told there was no opening for the role I was applying for, but they were willing to hire someone for the bench, but "only if they were the right fit," but they also were not in any hurry. I asked why this wasn't disclosed earlier, and they did not have an answer. A week after my final interview, I received an automated rejection letter. I would have hoped after 4 rounds of interviews, that I could have received personalized feedback regarding the decision, but I was not given that courtesy.

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Target (Sioux City, IA) in Dec 2024

      Interview

      Applied online. I received an email to choose an interview time based on the recruiter’s availability. Interview was a phone call. I was a little surprised it wasn’t a video interview. Recruiter was professional. I declined to go to next steps after I heard the schedule expectation.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Target in Jul 2024

      Interview

      There was a minimum of 5 interviews which is way too much. You should know by a maximum of 3 interviews if the candidate is correct or not. I’d recommend revamping the process to allow for a better candidate experience.
