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.

Daylong interview process at their headquarters. All employees were extremely friendly. You have 2 1 on 1 interview with senior level employees where you are asked behavioral based questions. Do your research on the company before and come in confident and prepared. Take the advice that your HR recruiter gives you in the e-mail that offers you the position as that is exactly how the interview goes. They do not try and trick you. Everything is very straightforward and what you should expect out of an interview with a leading fortune 500 retailer.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Minneapolis, MN (took 6+ weeks)
I applied to an AP analyst position and have a friend in HR who also forwarded my resume to the position's recruiter. I received a phone call from the recruiter a few days later and went through an informational interview with her. The next weel I was scheduled for an informal phone interview with the hiring manager. The next step was multiple interviews with the leaders in the AP department. This consisted of 3 seperate half hour interviews with 2 interviewers each. The interviews consisted of standard situational based questions.
After completing the in-person interview process I heard back about 2 weeks later and was told that the position had been offered to another candidate; however, they hiring team had liked me and forwarded my information to another hiring manager who had an opening on her team. I had a phone interview with the hiring manager and was offered the position the next week.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Minneapolis, MN (took 2 months)
I originally applied to Target through my university's career website. When Target came to the career fair my school was hosting, I was offered an interview for the sales and marketing position. They were quite happy with the experience on my resume and said I was qualified for the job. The next day I interviewed with the company and was asked some pretty basic personal and scenario questions. Surprisingly there was not a second interview and they called me within 2 weeks and offered me the position.

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 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)
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 Nov 2011 in Shakopee, MN (took 3 days)
I met with an Executive Team Leader and then the Store Team Leader. They asked questions in the STAR format and wanted 10% situation, 80% Action, and 10% Result. Have stories ready so you sound like you know what you're talking about. They usually interview at least 10 people for every Team leader position, so make sure you shine.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
They offered me the job on the spot but told me that they had to speak with their supervisors to find out what wage they could give me. Because of my Bachelor's degree and 2 years of General Manager experience, they wanted to give me more than the standard $14 an hour. When they got back to me, they offered me $15 an hour and I took it.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Minneapolis, MN (took 3 weeks)
I had an on-campus interview with a representative from Target. Mostly behavioral questions were asked. Additionally, i was required to take two online tests: a personality test and a quantitative analysis one. Both weren't too difficult, although you have to work sort of quickly to finish in time. I received notification of my offer about 2 weeks after the interview.
