Interviewed May 2012 in Tomball, TX (took a day)
The people who conducted the interview were very nice and friendly. They made me feel welcome, and it felt more like a conversation than being grilled for information. They did there job very well, and it makes me feel good to be able to work for such a nice place.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Houston, TX (took 2 months)
I have been in the interview process for almost 2 months now. I have had 4 interviews via phone and have my fifth this week. This has been the most intense interview process I have ever been apart of, and even if it ends without a job offer, I believe i have gained great experience simply from being apart of it. Everyone I have spoken to has been very friendly and seemed genuinely interested in my past experience and interest in the position. It has been a little frustrating with how dragged out the process has been. After 2 online personality/IQ assessments and 4 interviews you'd think I was interviewing for a vice president role. All the interview questions have been of the "tell me about a time when" variety and have been extremely repetitive. Should I get an offer this week I plan on accepting it. Target has a great reputation and I look forward to working for them. Overall it has been a positive experience.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Houston, TX (took 3 months)
I applied online and received an email from a HR recruiter the very next day to set up an initial phone interview. This first interview was 30-45 minutes in length and consisted mainly of questions to ascertain whether or not I met the basic requirements for the position. After this initial interview I was instructed to complete an online questionnaire that asked mostly basic situational based questions regarding work ethic and decision making. There were also "mathematical puzzle" type questions at the end.
Within a day, my next interview was schedule for the following week with the Store Team Leader (Store Manager). Since she was unable to make it, I ended up having a phone interview with the Pharmacy Business Partner (Pharmacy District Manager). This interview consisted mostly of situational based questions, such as "Name a situation in which you had to give bad news to a superior?"
A couple of days after this interview, I was scheduled for an in-person interview with the District Team Leader (District Manager). This interview followed a similar format to the previous interview with an emphasis on situational questions that had mostly to do solving conflicts and difficult management situations.
A couple of days afterwards, I was scheduled for my final interview with the Group HR Manager (Regional HR Manager). This interview was conducted over the phone and was shorter than the previous two interviews. Again, I was asked to describe situations in which I had to deal with issues or show management skill.
Three days after my final interview i was offered the position.
Be knowledgeable about Target and show enthusiasm throughout the process. The Target HR department was incredibly flexible and easy to work with.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Houston, TX (took 4+ weeks)
I got a call from the local HR representative and ask me basic questions about the company. What the program is about and the pay scale which is 45K. Told me the whole interview is behavior based questions and to practice them before you get to the interview. I would recommend practice practice practice!!... That's the only way you get good at them. "Tell me about a time you helped a leader become more efficient" and "Tell me about a time you made a difficult decision and what did you learn from it". Pretty much all the question are going to be all about working with a team and making mistakes within a team. So make sure you have good answers that focus on working with teams and how you corrected those mistakes. It seems like Target is looking for young professionals out of college because the same day I interviewed I saw the class that was hired the month before and there was about 30 of them who were all my age younger than 25.
I would definitely recommend anyone to interview with Target and to make sure you ask for the job at the end of the each group interviews. They want people with passion and enthusiasm to lead teams and a large store. Although I've been in the job hunt for while I really thought that this interview has prepared me allot better than any other jobs I've gone to. I hope this helps and remember PRACTICE!

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Houston, TX (took a day)
I applied online for a Pharmacist position at Target. The recruiter e-mailed me a few days later asking if I was still interested and if so what would be a good time for an interview. At the beginning of the interview I was asked my location preferences. The recruiter gave a brief description of the company including benefit information and pharmacist requirement to give immunizations. She proceeded to ask me to describe my work experiences. Before the questions begin, I was told the interview would be recorded and I should therefore " take a moment to think about the question before answering." I was asked three question during the recording session. These were..Describe a time I had to work with someone difficult. Tell about a time when I had to organize a function from beginning to end. Why Target.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Houston, TX (took 4+ weeks)
I actually was referred to the job by a Store Team Leader at a class presentation who connected me to my campus recruiter. From there, I was scheduled for an on a1:1 campus interview and then was extended an invitation to their second round. After that, I was contacted to schedule a final round interview over the phone and later that day, my campus recruiter called me with an offer and I accepted.
Overall I had a great experience. Everyone, especially my campus recruiter was extremely helpful, encouraging and positive.
All of the questions were behavioral. Be yourself, have some scenarios where you had to solve problems. Remember the STAR format. Smile! And fellas, wear a dark gray/navy blue suit with a power tie. Ask for the job afterwards too.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Houston, TX (took 2 weeks)
I had my first interview with Target through on campus recruiting. They took my resume in at career fair, and I was called in for an interview 3 days later. I came in, and they ask simple behavioral questions such as "Tell me about a time when you did not meet your deadline?" or "Tell me about a time when you worked in a group and a group member did not agree." They asked me to go over my resume and 5 behavioral questions were asked. Two days after, they sent me an email with a survey and a personality test in which I filled out, and 3 more days after that, I received an email to come in to the Target for a final interview and their biggest store in Houston. i was then interviewed by two more people with 5 more behavioral questions. Within a week or two, I received an email to speak with me on the phone, and then I was offered the position and told to come in for a drug test.
