I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Target (Mission Viejo, CA) in Sept 2012
Interview
Applied online via their site. Received a phonecall where I was asked if I would like an interview and was given an initial phone interview on the spot. The questions were run of the mill-- stuff like "when was a time you made a mistake and how did you rectify it", etc. They also asked about my good qualities were as well as my flaws.
I was asked to schedule a second interview in person during that same week. Went in, sat down with a GSTL and was given the second interview, where I was asked questions similar to that of the one I'll list in Unexpected Question below. It was a breeze as the GSTL was very friendly and she gave me the papers to get a drug test and a date for Orientation.

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.
