I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Target (Jacksonville, FL)
Interview
Online interview is self-paced for the most part. Allows you to retake if you mess up. “In-person” interview was more like first day of training! Pretty standard customer service questions, just try to sound engaged and friendly.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If hiring for seasonal employees, they’re pretty strict about asking for anticipated “vacation time” aka no time off.
Simple and easy process. It was a video interview. You just have to record yourself answering the questions. You get to answer each question up to 3 times. Final question is multiple choice.
Asked basic interview questions that you'd typically see in any other job interview. Some behavioral questions so be prepared for that. Recommend the STAR method for those types of questions.
Very quick, but need to apply in peak hiring season. Otherwise the best way to get the job would be through a referal or by striking up a conversation with leadership.
