I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Madison, WI) in Jan 2011
Interview
I interviewed when the store was first opening so I'm not sure if this interview experience was different than most. I sat down in front of 3 or 4 managers and they all asked me questions along the lines of "tell me about a time when you..."dealt with stress well" "lead a team" "communicated under pressure" " etc etc they told me pretty much on the spot that I was hired and told me to go across the street immediately for a drug test. There is also a screening before the interview which is a very long personality test.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you handled yourself well under stress.
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.
