I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Target (Cupertino, CA) in Nov 2012
Interview
I applied online on their site because I saw a post for a seasonal cashier position posted on a job site and I was surprised that the next day, they called and scheduled an interview for the day after. The interview took a while- approx. 2 hours, it's my first job interview, so I don't know, but that seemed long hahaha, but it was worth it. They had me fill out a questionnaire with all these "What would you do" questions and I had 2 interview sessions- one with this very nice, friendly lady and she asked me situational questions and what my strengths and weaknesses were, what cashier experiences did I have, why did I want to work at Target and when was a time that I have taken a leadership role and went above and beyond. Second interview- the guy was more serious haha, and it kind of got me nervous, but he asked almost the same questions except he went over what times I were available, asked me some more situational questions like "If you were ringing up a customer, and the price was 19.99 but customer believes is 17.99, what would you do?" , and then sent me out to wait some more until another lady came to get me and offered me the position under the condition that I get my drug test done in 24 hours.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Name a time when you had to do different tasks at the same time, how did you go about doing them? what was the outcome?
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.
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
