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 Dec 2011 (took a day)
Hr person was not engaged in the conversation from the get go. She asked a lot of tell me time when.... Questions. When I gave her examples they weren't good enough she wanted me to be more specific and detailed , down to the name of people involved in my examples. Very abrupt and unfriendly.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Minneapolis, MN (took 4+ weeks)
Pretty straight forward. As many have mentioned, you start with a phone interview and then you progress to one-on-one interviews with the District Team Leader and Store Team Leader. I will say that getting this particular position has less to do with your qualifications and more to do with how the person was feeling on that particular day. I had 1 semester left to get an MBA and interviewed well but the District Team Leader did not seem to be "in the mood" to be interviewing that day and asked few questions and didn't say much. I had a very nice conversation with the Store Team Leader and he asked lots of questions. A friend of mine interviewed at the same place and said that same exact thing. A month later another one of our friends interviewed at that store with a different District Team Leader and got the job. Her qualifications included only a bachelors degree and no retail experience while both of us had a decent amount of customer service and retail experience as well as higher education.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Minneapolis, MN (took 1 week)
After applying online through my campus career center, I received an email for an on campus interview. Before the interview, I had to take a math, reading, and personality test. The interview was all behavioral. About a week after the interview, I received a call from my recruiter congratulating for on the new offer.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 4 weeks)
So I received a phone call at the end of December 2011 and was told that my resume was found on Monster.com. I was asked simple questions like past work experience and if I had a 4 year degree... The recruiter asked me if I could interview the following week at a location nearby. She asked me to fill out an application and do a Test within the next few days. (The test is not easy! Lots of Math). So next came my interview.. I first interviewed with my recruiter, 5 questions all found on this site. Then she liked me so I interviewed with the STL (Store Team Leader). I choked at this interview (five questions again) but she liked me so I interviewed next with the DTL (District Team Leader). This was again five questions. This was all within two hours so I was mentally dead. Well that went well also.. I really enjoyed speaking with everyone and it was a great experience. The DTL said I would be hearing within 7-10 days for the results. I sent a Thank You note to the recruiter and DTL as soon as I got home saying thank you and that it was nice meeting them. I didn’t have the STL email address but would have sent her one if I did. So days went by and heard nothing. I dreaded opening my email afraid that I would get the rejection email. On day 9 after the interview I emailed the DTL asking my status and I didn't receive a response. On day 11 I emailed my recruiter and she emailed me right back saying the STL was going to be "connecting" with me soon. On day 15 after the interview I received a call from the STL and was asked if I could come in for another interview the following week... So 3 weeks after my initial 1 on 1 interview I had another. The STL was super nice and told me that she wanted to interview me for a lower position and if I would be interested. I told her yes and went on with the interview with one of the ETL's in the store. Truthfully I was hurt but I’m glad I was given the opportunity to interview again and not received that reject email. I interviewed and the STL asked if I would be ok with a certain $$ amount and I asked if she could go higher. Two days passed and I was asked to come into the following week for HR stuff. I was given more money and was given a drug test packet to take within 24 hours.
So yes I was hurt that I went in interviewing for an ETL position but ended up with a lower position. I figure I already have a degree and I could always use my Education degree later on or advance in Target after I get my feet wet. I am excited to work with the STL because she seemed like a genuinely nice person and that’s hard to come by in management. Also I studied this site like crazy, so I suggest that you rehearse questions and answers and have some EXCELLENT stories to tell! Good Luck!

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 Jan 2012 (took a day)
Was contacted by recuiter asking if I could interview with the company. I did an had three interviews one on one. They went very well and they were very professional in the interview. They made you feel relax and not nervous about the interviewing process. They walked you through through the process before they started their interview.
