I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Target (Reno, NV) in Nov 2013
Interview
There was Two phone interviews, one Skype interview with the regional manger, and an in person interview at a local store with their head manger. The interviews took place over a period of a couple months. The internship is over the summer but I applied and was accepted by the end of November. At my location Reno NV, it was pretty competitive to land the internship so I would recommend applying as early as possible. This internship is meant to train you for a specific job, if you complete the internship there is a very high chance you will be offered a full time spot at Target.

Question 1
They asked for a specific time I made a mistake in a professional situation and what I did to remedy the mistake. They want very specific answers about what specific action you took. Be ready to talk about past accomplishments and failures. They do not want broad generalizations about your personality but rather an exact recount of a situation and what you did during that situation (negative or positive).

Interview
Process took pretty long with wait time for next interview — about 1 1/2 months.. but other than that, interviews were easy and chill. I believe they only accept juniors and seniors in college.
