I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Target (Windsor, CT)
Interview
My friend said he applied and got the job so I decided to give it a shot. So they called but I didn't pick up phone but they left a voicemail. I called back and she gave me a time for the interview as well as the day. When I went there I was extremely nervous but other people were waiting with me and they were just as nervous. So the called me in and I had to sit with the first lady and she asked me questions like: Why I wanted to work there, what would I bring to the table, an experience I've had with bad customer service and how I went about solving, my past work experience, etc. and then I had an interview with a second lady and she was extremely bubbly and made the interview so relaxing and not so nerve wrecking. She explained what type of job it was and that she thinks that I will keep it after the season is up which gave me hope! She asked me questions like how well I am with people, what I like to do, my personality...basically "I want to get to know you to see if you will fit with the target community" type of questions. She said I got the job and to go to another lady who will set me up with information on my drug test and to get my working papers, since I was a high student at the time, and that was that.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I would say the most difficult question was my customer service experience because I've never had a job before Target so it was very difficult
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
