Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
I attended a Career Fair through campus and left my resume. I was contacted a week later through an email telling me that if I was still interested, they would like to meet with me at a local cafe. It was a very casual meeting, hardly an interview, I might add. It was more of a meet and greet. It was an opportunity for me to tell them about my interests and a chance for me to learn about what I may be getting into.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Boulder, CO (took a day)
I received a call to come in for an interview fairly quickly after submitting my application. Initially I was worried because I had been unable to put my actual availability into the online application so I went into the interview with my interviewer believing I had open availability. Fortunately, I was able to explain the situation right away. I had about a 25 minute interview with the woman who will be my team leader. It could have gone faster, but I paused a little to recall situational examples. The team leader was extremely nice and we laughed a bit together and she shared with me some of her own interviewing experience.
Afterwards I was told to wait for an interview with a manager. I didn't wait very long and the interview was even shorter. This had me worried because the man seemed like he had a million other things to be doing and that interviewing was not something he really wanted to spend time on. However, while I was waiting for the HR person to talk to me, the manager came back and gave me a piece of chocolate.
By far the most stressful part of the interview was the drug test. I had my interview at 12:00 on a Friday and the lab that facilitates the testing closed was only open from 1:30 to 3:00 that day and closed for the weekend (if you don't get your drug test in before 24 hours you are automatically bumped out of the system). So I had to rush down to the testing facility and get my test done and then rush off to my class that started at 2:00. Goodness!

Interviewed Aug 2010 in New York, NY (took a day)
I applied at the Target store and about 3 days later I got a call from them for an interiview. The first interview consisted of simple questions such as what can you bring to Target and why should we hire you? The second interview was questions about yourself, they wanted to see your personality. After the two interviews i was told to wait in the waiting area. A few minutes later I met the HR and she basically gave me a breakdown of my salary and other information of my duties. I was told to go get a drug test i passed it and i was able to get the job.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Minneapolis, MN (took 5 days)
The company called me, and were very helpful in scheduling an interview time that worked for me. I ended up going through two rounds of interviews, and both people who interviewed me were very helpful. The interview was mostly behavior based. All in all, enjoyable process.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Minneapolis, MN (took 3 weeks)
I was referred to a recruiter for the Business Analyst position. After an initial exploratory phone interview, a formal phone interview and an online assessment (consisting of quantitative, critical reasoning, and personality questions) was scheduled.
The second phone interview was 30 min and included a couple general behavioral questions. At the end of the phone call, I was offered an office visit to the Target HQ.
The Target Office Visit was great! Interview day comprised of a morning of company presentations (Target, Minneapolis, position shadowing, etc.) and 2 half-hour interviews after lunch. This was followed by a short tour of the HQ building and a reception. Interviews were straightforward, behavioral-based. They're looking for you to speak on specific experiences and how they reflect/contribute to your leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 3 weeks)
Target recruiter called for pharmacist position and had set up time for 1 hr interview. It was behavioral type questions (most of them are listed by other interviewers). Then second interview with STL and Pharmacist ETL which is similar format. Then last one with District Team lead which was also 5 questions.
The Key to successful interview is to present solid examples that shows that you are leader and work well with you team. Please prepare all your answers ahead of time so interview will be free flowing. Good Luck!

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Minneapolis, MN (took 3 weeks)
They are so nice! They make it as painless as possible. The questions were not hard at all. They were very prompt and did things on time. I applied online and they got back to me a week or two later. I had a phone screen, then took an online test, then had a second phone interview, then got the job a week later.
Negotiation Details
I did not negotiate-- its an internship. They subsidize housing, but do not give you a stipend if you choose to live somewhere else.

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 Jan 2012 (took 1 week)
I applied for a Distribution Operations Manager - Group Leader position with Target. After submitting my application and resume through their online system, I was contacted about a week via email by a HR - Distribution Recruiter. My first telephone interview involved basic interview questions. I believe the first interview a "feel you out" approach. Nothing really hard about the initial interview. At the end of our conversation, the recruiter informed me that she would like to move along in through the process and scheduled my second interview at that time.
My second interview was a little more intense. It consisted of behavioral questions, which the recruiter informed they would be. My interview was on a Friday and my recruiter stated that I would hear from them by Monday or Tuesday, should I be selected to move along in the process. I felt my interview wasn't my greatest. Immediately after our interview, I sent the recruiter a "thank you" letter and again expressed my interest in Target.
One thing to mentioned is the recruiter at this point, asked my salary requirements. Because I did my research on Target, my salary requirements fell in the range of my research. Also, the recruiter asked if the work schedule would fit my schedule.And, it did! Lastly, the recruiter asked if I was actively seeking employment elsewhere. I was totally honest with them. She asked what phase in the process I was in with the other companies, the type of position, and how Target ranked in regards to the other companies. Target is definitely ranked # 1 and on a scale of 1 - 10, Target is a 10.
I am now looking forward to my on-site interview and very neverous. I'm hoping I have a really good shot at securing this position. I am excited about the opportunity to work for such reputable company. I will keep everyone up-dated of my status. I'm hoping this will be the last step and I can begin working with Target soon.

Based on my research, the position was within my salary range. Therefore, I gave them a range that I preferred. Because I am still in the interview process, I do not know if it works. Best advice I could give is to do your research.
