Interviewed Jul 2010 (took a day)
It was very easy. I met with one supervisor and he asked me basic questions. I knew I got the job when he started discussing salary with me and asked if that is good to start with. Then I was called in for an orientation with a couple of other people.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Salt Lake City, UT (took 3 days)
I applied in store on their computers, got a call like 2 hours later and asked if I could come in for an interview the next day and I accepted. Came in and a manager interviewed me with one half of the packet then another manager came in to interview me on the other half of the packet and they both wrote my answers to the questions in the packet. They told me they'd give me a call and they did the next day. They gave me a conditional job offer if i passed a drug test, took the test and was given a day to appear at job orientation.

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took a day)
Target called a day or two after my application had been submitted to set up a date for an interview. The initial interview lasted about 30 minutes with a Team Leader, someone who would be my immediate supervisor. Questions consisted of very basic personality questions. "When did you help someone?" , "How did you deal with a stressful situations?" etc. This was immediately followed up with an interview with Store Management, asking almost exactly the same questions. Both store management and team leaders were ver y optimistic, friendly, almost bubbly young women. The entire process took about an hour and half. I received a phone call the next day offering me a job on the Sales Floor, not cashier, which was the position I originally interviewed for. I accepted the position of a Sales Floor Team Member.

Negotiation Details
As a part-time employee, Target was very flexible negotiating my availability. Unfortunately, pay was entirely non-negotiable.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took a day)
I had two interviews. One with the general interviewer and then another with the Leader the Cashier dept. First one was really just to determine all the basic stuff, days/hours available, just kinda going over your application and a few scenario questions. Second seemed more like a way to see if you would be a good fit.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Ask about the expectations and the consequences if those expectations aren't reached, because Ive had some friends quit because they didn't know about the minimum redcard apps and they got really stressed out about that. They didn't tell me there was a minimum, just said they promoted redcards and we were expected to talk about them.

I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Boulder, CO (took a day)
I received a call to come in for an interview fairly quickly after submitting my application. Initially I was worried because I had been unable to put my actual availability into the online application so I went into the interview with my interviewer believing I had open availability. Fortunately, I was able to explain the situation right away. I had about a 25 minute interview with the woman who will be my team leader. It could have gone faster, but I paused a little to recall situational examples. The team leader was extremely nice and we laughed a bit together and she shared with me some of her own interviewing experience.
Afterwards I was told to wait for an interview with a manager. I didn't wait very long and the interview was even shorter. This had me worried because the man seemed like he had a million other things to be doing and that interviewing was not something he really wanted to spend time on. However, while I was waiting for the HR person to talk to me, the manager came back and gave me a piece of chocolate.
By far the most stressful part of the interview was the drug test. I had my interview at 12:00 on a Friday and the lab that facilitates the testing closed was only open from 1:30 to 3:00 that day and closed for the weekend (if you don't get your drug test in before 24 hours you are automatically bumped out of the system). So I had to rush down to the testing facility and get my test done and then rush off to my class that started at 2:00. Goodness!

Interviewed May 2010 in Elmhurst, NY (took a day)
There is one interview its pretty basic asking questions on situations you have been in and what youve done . If they want to offer you the position they call you back and you have to take a drug test and background test. Once you pass that you have the job and they give you a schedule to start your training.

I submitted my application, and apparently they liked it. They came in from the back and asked for an immediate interview. They told me that they would not hire e if I would not work Sundays. I told them I could not for religious purposes. They said the job was mine if I would agree to work on Sundays.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
I filled out an application was called about a week later and they were flexible on times and dates for the interview. Before the interview I had to go into any Target store and take a personality test at one of their kiosks. Basic what if questions. I was interviewed by 3 separate individuals and immediately asked if I wanted the job after the 3 person. Had 24 hours to take a drug test or the offer was null.
