I applied online. I interviewed at Target (Walnut Creek, CA)
Interview
The interview process for the Target Security Specialist position was quick and straightforward. Although the process typically requires completing a HireVue video interview, I was contacted by the hiring manager directly on the same day I submitted my application, skipping that step entirely.
The next day, I came in for an in-person interview with the hiring manager and a team member. The questions were simple and mostly centered on basic scenarios and my previous experience. After the interview, both interviewers left the room briefly to discuss, and I was given a verbal offer on the spot. Onboarding began shortly after.
Overall, it was a smooth and easy interview process, with clear communication and quick decision-making.

Skills, why you want to work here, STAR questions, ect
Easy interview process. Just the same standard questions they ask for any other role at Target, they might also ask whether you are comfortable sitting down for prolonged periods of time and watching cameras.
Ability to interview virtually which was helpful as I was traveling at the time. Ability to record and practice your interview questions multiple times before submitting the final interview responses
