Interviewed Nov 2011 in Minneapolis, MN (took 1 week)
After applying online through my campus career center, I received an email for an on campus interview. Before the interview, I had to take a math, reading, and personality test. The interview was all behavioral. About a week after the interview, I received a call from my recruiter congratulating for on the new offer.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 1 week)
Applied with resume and cover letter then got contacted about a week later to set up a "get to know you" phone called. Call was about 30 minutes and at the end we set up a time for my official interview, which was to be one week later. In that week I had to complete a personality test, reading comprehension, and business math skills assessment. The interview was 100% behavioral lasted about 25 minutes, then we did about another 20 minutes of me asking questions and getting more info on the position. A couple days later I got an offer!
Everyone I talked with was really awesome and encouraging. I can't wait to start working for Target!
Tips: it sounds cliché but they're looking for leaders. All of my interview questions could be found on this site in other reviews so you'll know exactly what to expect. Also do your homework so you can ask insightful questions that prove you're interested in the company.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Minneapolis, MN (took 6+ weeks)
Received a phone call, brief first round get-to-know-you type of interview, very casual, established a rapport with the recruiter. Second round interview was completely behavioral, followed by an online skills/IQ test. Once I passed that, I got the call with the good news. Had to complete a drug and background check prior to official offer, but the interview process was spread out and fairly stress free if you prepare well and know your stuff.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Minneapolis, MN (took a day)
I applied online and then was offered a phone interview after a few weeks. Sadly their schedule was messed up so they ended up having to reschedule me to half an hour later (after calling about 15 minutes late). The second time they called 5 minutes late then we had a very short conversation until she found out I'm not an American and told me I can't do the internship since they don't sponsor work visas and the internship is to scope out full-time employees. Was a big disappointment having to prepare and then wait for so long only to be told off...

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Minneapolis, MN (took 2 weeks)
Applied on their website and through the Minnesota Private College Job Fair. They pre-scheduled me for an interview at the fair where I met one of their interviewers for an interview. Consisted of basic behavioral interview questions, ex. Tell me about a time when you... showed leadership, had to work with a team, made a quick decision. All types of questions that can be readily found online. About two weeks after the interview I received a phone call from a member of Target's recruiting team and was offered the position. The recruiter asked if I was considering other options and told me I had 24 hours to complete a drug test and one week to accept the offer.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Minneapolis, MN (took 2 weeks)
I applied on my school's career website, and also on Target's website. I had a connection, so receiving an interview was certain. Prior to the interview, I was instructed to do a personality test, IQ and Skills tests. One of the tests was deducing information from a set of graphs/charts. The second one was story problems and figuring out if the statement they provide is true, false, or cannot tell. The day before the on-campus interview, Target hosts all the potential interns at a restaurant, where you can ask questions about the position and Target. Make sure you go there with a set of questions for them. Knowing the current events about Target will help too. The main interview consisted of about 5-7 behavioral questions. Make sure you can think fast about specific situations. If you receive an offer, they do a drug and background check. I interviewed two days ago, and they told me I will hear back in 1-2 weeks. Good luck.

The interview process wasn't to bad. You just need to be able to think on your feet, and have good fast responses to the questions they asked. Its a 15min general phone interview. Then 30min Behavior based interview.
