I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Knoxville, TN) in Aug 2012
Interview
After applying online they called me to setup an interview. I set my appointment at 12:00 It took them 30 minutes until the actual interview began. They than took me into a room in their offices and asked me a series of questions. There were a lot of essay questions, highly unnecessary for such a trivial job. I got an email a week later saying I didn't get the job. They will pay everyone 7.25 an hour and there is no negotiating. Seems like a very corporalt place to work that does not care about their employees, after several testimonials from current employees.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time you had to do something you were not familiar with and succeeded.
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.
It was interesting. Not hard at all, straightforward, and pretty open people. It was an okay interview and what you’d typically expect. So don’t stress stress it, I mean kinda try your best
Standard process, STAR method is good to use in interviews like this. Wear nice clothing not too dressed up not too formal and be friendly. Positive environment not super high pressure
