I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Target (Knoxville, TN) in Sep 2008
Interview
They really want good people at Target, and the interview process is very selective. You will usually interview with at least 1 to 2 Store managers and also with a few ETL (executive team leaders) They ask you lots of customer service based questions and scenario questions, the interview will usually last about 2 hours total.

Question 1
Tell me about your past accomplishments, whether in school or work?
Short, quick, personable and exciting so you can't gauge how they feel. That said, very easy and fast process, does not require much preparation, just make sure you can pitch yourself well.
There was a total of three rounds. First was phone screening with recruiter, second was with a manager and third was with a panel of mangers at the distribution center.
