I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Minneapolis, MN) in Jan 2010
Interview
Since Target did not recruit at my University, I submitted my application online. (I continued to submit every month for about 4 months until I finally received an phone call.)
The initial interview was conducted on the phone. Then, I had to complete various comptenecy tests online (math, reading comp. etc... pretty straight forward.) I was then invited for an in-person interview folllowing which I received the job offer on the spot.
All interview questions are in the form "Tell me about a time when..."
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you made a change and it did not go well. How did you react? What steps did you take? Etc.
Tell me about a time when XYZ happened. Target ask a lot of Situation / Behavior / Outcome questions. If you know a current employee, ask them to provide you a list of questions they ask while interviewing or when they've been interviewed. Also, ask them to conduct a mock interview for you.

Interview
Brutal! This was for a group of recently minted MBAs. We were brought in as a group of six. They made the environment highly "passive aggressive" and competitive. I've been an athlete all my life but was very uncomfortable in this experience.

Question 1
Can't recall many questions but all I could think about was getting out of there quickly. The culture was terrible. My sister worked at Wal Mart corporate and treated her like a queen.

Interview
It was a very long process. Applied on line, several weeks of waiting, HR phone screen, one on one interviews with 4 different people, people I interviewed with were very nice and questions were situation/behavioral, wondered how some of the questions even related to the position. Then several more weeks of waiting before being contacted regarding an offer.
