I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Hiram, GA) in Aug 2016
Interview
Had a phone interview with HR where she asked me my availability and why I want to work for Target then scheduled me an interview the next day. I interviewed with a guy who was very laid back, friendly, he didn't make me feel nervous. He told me he would ask me 4 simple questions ( situational questions) told me to answer them by explaining what happened, what did I do, and what was the outcome. Once finished he told me I did good and he told me to sit back in the waiting area to have a second interview. I interviewed with another guy he was pretty cool and relaxed. Same situational questions but different from previous interviewer. He also talked to me about Targets RedCard and about my availability and told me to sign a form confirming my availability. He told me to have a seat and I would speak to the lady in HR who originally contacted me. Waited 5mins and she went over my interview I had and told me about the probation period which is 90 days and after the probation period you will be able to cross-train. Honestly if you read the reviews from others on glassdoor it will really help you out. I've done research on here and the questions that they ask are the same that everyone has mentioned.
It was two interviews. The first one was a recorded interview for 15 minutes and the second interview was in person. The questions were very similar. It is common questions that they would ask for being in retail.
Was just a quick 10 minute call from the store manager, didn't take long at all. He asked if I had the availability he was looking for and if I could be punctual. Smooth process
It was overall very brief from applying to hearing back. Was just a day of meeting with a couple managers and talking through a cashier job. Nothing too out of the ordinary for a role like this.
