I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Target in Aug 2010
Interview
I submitted my application online. About a week later I got an email to schedule an interview. I called and scheduled. I was applying for a Team Leader position (hourly supervisor). The first interview was with an Executive Team Leader (keyholder). It was pretty brief and nothing really caught me off guard. It was the usual stuff, strengths, weaknesses, etc. The next interview (I had right after the first) was with the Store Team Leader (store manager). His questions were more about team leadership, who I've mentored, and things like that. The last interview was with the District Team Leader. Again, nothing really challenging.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All of the questions were pretty standard. The big thing to focus on is "scope." Target likes to see that you're focused on the big picture. Talk about the things you did and how they affected your whole store, not just you or your immediate team.
Basic interview questions. Nothing hard or exhausting. Just basic prep is totally acceptable. Flexible scheduling and multiple locations including virtual. One round of interviews with management. Don't overthink it and just have basic preparation.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Target (Springfield, OR)
Interview
Initially I had someone reach out to me via Indeed. From there I had a chat with the recruiter who walked me through the job and next steps. I completed an application and then a video interview that consisted of 6 questions. After that was sent in I was told to schedule a face to face interview at the store. When I arrived at my interview my scheduled interviewer was unaware that she had anything scheduled. She recovered quickly and took me upstairs to the offices. The store director was on a phone call at that point so she took me to another room while we waited. What I was unaware of is that the interview hadn't quite started and that we were waiting for the store director. We chitchatted for at least 30 minutes before the store director arrived. It all seemed very casual at this point. We started a packet of questions very similar to the video interview questions. I answered everything and then I was thanked for my time. I did not get the job which felt a bit confusing after seemingly being fast tracked and then a very cheery and lengthly interview.
Had 3 interviews for the position as they were in between Store Managers. Once the new Store Manager started, HR called me and had me come in same day to interview with the Store Manager and I was offered the job on the spot.

Question 1
They walked the department that I was interviewing for to lead and asked me what I saw and what I would do differently.
