Interviewed Jul 2011 in West Jefferson, OH (took 3 weeks)
A target recruiter called out of the blue to describe the open position and determine if there was interest. After interest was expressed the recruiter scheduled a series of two to three phone screening interviews. A mixture of regular questions were asked paired with situational questions. After I passed the phone interview portions an on-site interview was scheduled. The on-site interviews consisted of three panel interviews with senior group leaders, general managers, and HR managers. Very strange environment. I was taken to multiple rooms for interviews and multiple areas while waiting by myself in between them. Each interview was lead by casually dressed individuals reading from a very scripted interview packet. You start to wonder if any of them could stand on their own two feet without the packets. Notes were taken on the packets in an obvious situation, action, result format. Important to have extremely specific examples prepared ahead of time that follow that format of what was the situation, what did you do, and what were the results of the actions. Best advice I can give is to have up to twelve examples rehearsed in the SAR format ahead of time.Good luck with the interview process. Get ready to appear as though you drank the kool-aid. Some of the questions were as follows:
Tell me about a time when you brought up an issue to someone else that others were not comfortable bringing up.
Tell me about a time when you challenged someone to do a better job.
Describe a person you have had the most difficulty motivating.
Tell me about a time when you failed to deliver on a work commitment.
Provide an example when you helped someone improve their work performance.
Tell me about a time when you challenged the opinion of another in a group setting.
Describe a time when you hit a barrier or challenge to accomplish a goal.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Dublin, OH (took a day)
This was my first interview I applied online got called the next day for an interview. They made me take an IQ test on one of the computers when I didn't know the location of the computers I asked an employee and she was very nice and showed me where and who to talk to. The test just had some questions about averages and basic math skills. I had 2 interviews with them the first was a team leader she asked be basic questions like greatest strength, weaknesses, times you've helped others and so on. The second interview was with one of the execs and she asked the same questions pretty much just with a little different wording both were extremely nice and chatted a bit and laughed it was a fun interview.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Columbus, OH (took a day)
They called me to come in and interview five times. Once there, the single interview went smoothly. Once into the job I found out that I was lied to and that a 40 hour per week position did not exist for the position I applied for.

Went to interview day at OSU. Interview was 1:1, and questions were all behavioral. Interviewer was friendly, but not the type to tip you off as to how you did.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Columbus, OH (took 2 days)
This was a great interview experience. The process consisted of the HR rep contacting me, two TL's interviewing me and the HR rep offering me the job. Everyone was very relaxed and encouraging, which made the interview very laid back. The people in the office were very polite and the whole store was great in welcoming me once I was hired.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Columbus, OH (took a day)
Three sets of intervies within a day. Interviewed with different levels of the company. The questions were behavioral based. They are interested in high level leadership examples. I was an internal canidate. They do not promote from within. Once you are in the organization below the Executive level you are not promotable. At the executive level if they like you, you will be pushed up the ladder.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Columbus, OH (took 3 days)
Was contacted by recruiter via telephone after job fair at University. Next, was contacted by a recruiter for a phone interview which lasted about 30 minutes. All behavioral based questions (describe a time...., what would you do if...). Had a one on one with an ETL where again, four or five behavioral based questions were asked. Was then interviewed by two managers and again, more of the same questions. Thought it went well, but was not offerred a position.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in West Jefferson, OH (took 2 weeks)
I first went through a phone interview that lasted about 45 minutes after being contacted by a college recruiter for Target. I was then asked to take a screening/IQ test that had about 95 questions. After that I was invited to the the distribution center where I was given a tour of the facility along with a short presentation. After the presentation there were 3 separate interviews each with 2 staff members ranging from HR reps to the General Manager of the building. Each set of interviews lasted 45 minutes and consisted of 5 behavioral questions. After the interviews I was contacted within a week by telephone where they let me know I did not receive the position.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Hilliard, OH (took a day)
I was asked to wait for my interviewer in the on site starbucks cafe. I waited there for over 25 minutes before an obviously overworked member of entry-level management ran up and said "Interview?" to which I replied yes and gave my name and attempted to shake his hand. Apparently he was uninterested and I was just told to follow him into the back. Once to the location of the interview (a cold, messy conference room) he left again for around 15 minutes to grab the necessary paperwork. He then read questions straight from the paper and wrote down my answers. Pretty cut and dry questions asking about prior experiences with customer service. Overall my first impressions of the company were quite low. I was taken aback at how messy and dirty the office area of the store seemed in comparison to the way the sales floor was kept.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
After my first interview, an "HR Team Member" came in and said "We're offering you the job. You start and 9.30." At this I was very surprised because of the high rate of pay and I quickly accepted the job and was hurried out the door to take my offsite drug test some 30 minutes away. At the time I felt it was worth it because the pay was decent for the type of work I anticipated doing.
That happiness was quickly dashed when the company delayed my orientation date 4 times and I found out that I would actually be making 7.30 per hour and that the HR Team Member was apparently "new" and that I had to accept that pay or quit. Oh well. I still work there...
