Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
First I was given a phone interview. Next I was given an online skills test that asked math questions and questions about how I would handle specific situations. Last I was invited for the 1 on 1 interview. You are with one person at a time and if they like you you will see around 5 people. Each will ask you behavioral based questions, like "tell me about a time when you had to overcome a challenge at work. How did you handle it and what was the outcome?

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 2 months)
Most of it consisted of me talking about personal situations where I exhibited whatever quality they asked about. A lot of "tell me about a time when..." questions. Very relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, no questions that were unfair or off-base.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 5 days)
Already team member decided to advance career. Referred by ETL applied online and had scheduled telephone interview. First, was the intital phone screening. Second, I had to complete an online test which proved more difficult than I imagined. Lastly, was the phone interview. I was asked basic questions like the ones posted by other members. I do not care for phone interviews prefer 1:1. Phone was not always clear and had to repeat questions. After interview I sent thank you note and later a note stating I was still interested in position. No reply from interviewer. Later, I was informed by the HR rep the results of my interview which I felt should have been given by the interviewer since my correspondance was to him. He stated I have protential and work more with my ETL to gain a bigger scope of the position and the questions that where asked. Apply again.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 2 weeks)
After posting my resume online, I was contacted via email about 3-4 days later. The recruiter wanted to speak with me on the phone and was very flexible with my work hours. We spoke for about 10 mins and I was asked to go for an interview about 2 weeks later. This all came on a Friday right before I was scheduled to go on a weeks vacation. The recruiter was very cool about me taking a very extra days to complete my online application. While I was on a vacation I had received a voicemail from Target asking if I could interview early, but unfortunately I was still on vacation. So I kept my original appointment and had three back-to-back interviews in the same day, which lasted a total of about 90 minutes. The first with a store lead, the second with the recruiter and another employee, and the third with 2 of their district managers. Each interview consisted of situational questions in which I was asked to describe scenarios I had actually had experience with. After the third interview, the district managers advised me I would get a call within 7-10 days (usually sooner than that) and if they decide to move forward, I will get a call from HR for a final phone interview. It has only been 3 days, so I am still waiting for the news (hopefully good)!

Interviewed Mar 2009 in San Jose, CA (took 2 days)
Because I interviewed on campus as part of my school's career expo event, I had to do three interviews total. Two on campus, one at their headquarters.
The first two interviews were basically behavioral questions: how well do you work in teams? Describe a time when you had to solve a problem while working with team members, how do you confront conflicts?
Questions of that nature that pertain specifically with running a Target store efficiently. The third interview at their headquarters are more specific to your skills in management.
Such questions will range from behavioral to specific examples and scenarios in which you have to give reasons why you chose a specific action.
This allows the recruiter and the HR from headquarters to assess your leadership capabilities.

Reason for Declining
I wanted to pursue finance, retail hours are not my forte.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Ventura, CA (took 5 days)
First phone interview. Personality test ( very difficult) covering basic IQ and common sense skills. Then in person interview. Asked basic questions and they are very hard to figure out on the spot. Very difficult for non prepared individuals. Must be articulate and communicate well with others. If you make it past the phone interview you are on the right track.
Negotiation Details
None. Offer and accept.
