I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Target (Denver, CO) in Feb 2011
Interview
I heard about a new store opening and applied on-line. I received a phone call about 10 days later to come in for an interview. The on-line portion consisted of an application and a personality test. When i got to the interview I was instructed to take a brief test about ehtics and several "what would you do" situations.
when I finished I was told to wait in the snack bar area. Three other people were being interviewed there. I was interviewed by a Hispanic gentleman who could barely speak english, I had a very hard time understanding him and he finally just turned his paper upside down and had me read the questions myself. All of the questions were about giving examples of situations, how I resolved them and what the outcome was. He didn't write down the answers in his booklet, he wrote how he saw things and in several instances it was completly different from what I said. I waited a few minutes for my second interview, the second man asked alsmost texactly the same questions and when he was finished said we'll have to firgure out where best to place you and we'll be in touch. I wasn't asked for my reume, I wasn't asked about my former jobs or skills. Everything was read from their little booklets. Two out of the four of us got a second interview, the other two left after the first one. I was never called. I have over 20 years retail experience and excellent references. It was the strangest interview I've ever had.

Question 1
Give an example of a time that you helped someone in need.
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.
