      Distribution Group Leader Interview

      12 Oct 2013
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Target

      Interview

      I was approached for a potential position as a Distribution Team Leader with Target through my LinkedIn account, where I received a message via a campus recruiter. The process started very slow in which the recruiter took some days to reply to a single email, which I found odd since they had reached out to me originally. Once it started picking up, I was scheduled for a phone interview. Took about 30 minutes. Generic questions about who you are and behavior responses to certain scenarios. I was invited to take part in a second phone interview the following week. During the second interview, same generic questions. This time they told me I needed to apply online through the Target website, which was fine, but they made me feel as if I should have already known this when it wasn't mentioned in any prior conversations. I was also told I would be sent an online survey/skills assessment test that would take about an hour. Upon completing the application and being sent the test, I had 48 hours to start/finish it. It was sent to me at 10am on a Friday during which I was in the middle of working a 12 hour work shift followed by a 16 hour work shift the next day. Questions included situation/response, math, and other similar "rate yourself" questions. Overall it was an easy test but due to be exhausted from work, I was not at my peak mental proficiency, and since the test was sent to me on a weekend, I had no chance to ask for an extension, so I'm pretty sure I didn't do so well. Nevertheless, I was not moved to the next phase of interviewing, which would have consisted of multiple on-site interviews. I was told via email and that I wasn't allowed to ask for any feedback of why/what I may have done wrong. In the end, it's probably a good thing I didn't proceed, because I found out that the position seems to be one that has a horrible turnover rate, most people dislike the job, and it wasn't unseen for people to just quit and leave. So I guess I dodged a bullet with this one.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Target in Aug 2015

      Interview

      So far, I've only interviewed. I was emailed within minutes by a REAL human resources representative after applying for the position. A phone interview was scheduled at my convenience. The phone interview lasted 24 minutes. At the conclusion of the interview, I was told when I would receive a response from the company. Overall, I have a lot of respect the Target hiring process. Using real people alleviates the stress of waiting weeks for an automated response
