I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Saint Louis, MO) in Oct 2010
Interview
Had first interview at school career fair. Consisted of basic questions by 2-3 Target staff (Tell me about yourself; Why Target, etc). Then, gave 5 basic behavior interview questions. After a week, they invited me to the second interview. They ended up coming back up to my school for this round of interviews. The interviewers were the HR execs and had more difficult behavior questions.
Two weeks later, I received a rejection email.
Tips: They want peppy, outgoing employees. They are looking for leadership and teamwork skills from your past. Also, use the STAR method when answering an interview question (Situation/Task, Action, Result).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time where you had to motivate a group member, and how did you go about it?
Short, quick, personable and exciting so you can't gauge how they feel. That said, very easy and fast process, does not require much preparation, just make sure you can pitch yourself well.
There was a total of three rounds. First was phone screening with recruiter, second was with a manager and third was with a panel of mangers at the distribution center.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Target (Charlotte, NC) in Oct 2025
Interview
The initial step was a phone screening, where I learned a lot more about the company and position. I didn't proceed to the next round but the people I spoke with were very friendly.
