Interviewed Mar 2012 in Chicago, IL (took 1 week)
I applied online and scheduled an interview as soon as the application was complete. I had two in-person interviews. The first was with an HR member, the second was a week later with a sales manager. Most of the questions were basic questions about past experience and how I handle certain situations. Setting was pretty laid back.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Glenview, IL (took 2 days)
It was a quick 10 minute phone call the day before the 1:1 to see if I was interested in the job and if I had the a car to get to work every day. When I went in for the face to face interview I was there for about 2 hours. I interviewed with 2 different people. First, I interviewed with a Team Leader that just asked me usual interview questions that were read to me from a packet. The second interview was with the store manager and he basically just re-read the questions to me. You don't really need to impress anyone with the interview process since they are just reading questions from the packet. The questions pretty much follow the guidelines of some of the questions you would see in the online questionnaire you fill out when you fill out your application. They don't care about your personal qualities, just as long as you meet the criteria of whatever is in that question packet.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Arlington Heights, IL (took a day)
After filling out the online application, I was contacted, in person, by a representative of the store. When I got to the store I was told to go to the application computer station and re-file information and re-take a personality test. The test consisted of questions about how to handle workplace situations. I made it past the first interview and felt I did well on the second with the HR person. When I did't hear anything I called the HR person to inquire and left a couple of messages that were not returned. A few days later I received an email from corporate telling me "Thank you for applying." I was very disappointed at how interview process was handled.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Merrillville, IN (took 1 week)
I had a Phone interview and then was asked to come in for interview on monday, but to do some tests online before hand. Did 3 interviews on monday and said they will get back to me on Friday. Heard nothing so called and said they are still interviewing other people and they will let me know next week.
Got offered another job at another company so not sure if I should accept that one or wait until Target calls me..

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 4+ weeks)
The ETL interview process begins with a phone interview with the HR representative where they ask you basic Situation, Task, Action, Result behavioral questions. Then you will take two online assessments, one where they test your overall competence and the other where they explore your interests. The tests are simple, just be honest and do your best. Be sure to review the STAR behavioral interview format and prepare anecdotes based off your resume to share.
The final stage is two one on one interviews with the District Team Leader and the Human Resources Business Partner. These are both upper level managers who will follow a similar STAR format set of questions, but they will also ask more follow up questions. They will rate you based on how concisely you articulate your answers, how technically demanding or complex your work experience has been, how strong your leadership experience is (talk about a time when you lead a team, this is absolutely critical), how you overcome challenges and failures, and how confidently you present yourself overall.
Don't be nervous, they are kind in demeanor and just want you to be able to present yourself as best as you can. Be prepared with concise responses to any questions about your resume and you will succeed.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Naperville, IL (took 4 weeks)
Behavioral interviews. Want to know exactly how a person would operate in specific situations. If you were ever part of a team, this interview will be easy for you. Asked for a GPA, reviewed resume and cover letter.You are asked the same questions over and over. Interviewers are very friendly, easy to talk to. Be sure to write down potential questions.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 2 weeks)
When I interviewed I talked to a very nice lady. She was very upbeat and supportive of Targets company overall. One of the questions that she asked me during the interview process were where do you see yourself in 5 years? Another question was what was a difficult decision that you had to make? Overall the interview process was not terrible but they like to ask a lot of behavior question during the interview.
