I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Target (Saratoga Springs, NY)
Interview
I got a phone call to come in for an interview, they gave me dates and times that they were available to do one and I chose. On interview day, I was interviewed by 3 managers and from there I was then told I would be called if they want to hire me and when training would start.

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.
