Overnight Stocker at Target

No Offer – Interviewed in Davenport, IA May 2013 – Reviewed May 18, 2013 New

Interview Details – I had to go in at 9:30 Pm and do a questionnaire on the computer. Then I was given interview which were about 7 behavioral questions. The interviewer explained to me in great detail about getting merchandise to the floor and the system that they use. So I was told that I will be getting a phone call within the next couple days. I waited and never received a phone call, so I checked my email and saw that I didn't get the job.

Interview Question – There really wasn't one.   Answer Question

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Issaquah, WA May 2013 – Reviewed May 10, 2013 New

Interview Details – After submitting an application online, 2 days later I received a call setting up a phone interview. This consisted of standard personality and experience questions. Two days after this interview I received another call setting up an in-person interview. This interview was basically them asking if I was able to physically handle the job, what type of personality I had, and what experiences I had that would help me with this job. This interview went well, they asked me to wait a few minutes, then the HR person came out and asked to speak with me in her office. She offered me the job immediately.

Interview Question – If you were scanning a customers' groceries and something scanned as $19.99, then the customer insisted the product was $17.99, what would you do?   View Answers (2)

No Offer – Interviewed in Ocean, NJ Feb 2013 – Reviewed Mar 16, 2013

Interview Details – I filled out an application online at about 6pm and 2 hours later I was called to set up a telephone interview. The phone interview was about 3 days later and it was for 10:30pm since it was for an overnight position. The phone interview was pretty easy. I was asked a few behavioral questions and about my strenghts and weaknesses. After the phone interview I was set up for an in person interview. This in person interview was scheduled at night time too. When I arrived I was asked to complete a test that was on the computer and after that I was called into the HR for the interview. The person that interviewed me never looked me in the eyes, she just asked questions off of a sheet of paper. I was asked questions about if a customer wanted shoes for her child and they weren't in stock, what would I do. I was asked about my availability and my strenghts and weaknesses. She asked me if I had any questions and I did and I asked them. I felt like she didn't connect with me at all. She kept yawning and acting like she was in a hurry and she didn't give a good interview.

Interview Question – There were no difficult or unexpected questions.   Answer Question

Declined Offer – Interviewed in Temple, TX Feb 2012 – Reviewed Dec 18, 2012

Interview Details – The interview started ten days after my application was submitted.
The interview was very easy and I was hired on the spot.
Don't forget to bring a photo ID or you will not be able to start orientation.
If you miss orientation you will have to wait a month for the next orientation.

The interview was very relaxed and the people were nice. They asked very simple questions and they were standard interview questions.
Also asked me about my skills/abilities.

Interview Question – Describe a time you helped somebody?   View Answer

Reason for Declining – The position required a lot of physical work and my back swelled up.

Overnight Stocker at Target

No Offer – Interviewed in Somerville, MA Oct 2012 – Reviewed Oct 31, 2012

Interview Details – I applied online. I got a call back after a few days, and they asked if I was interested in being an overnight stocker, as they were particularly looking for these. i said yes. I had two interviews, but they were split up into two different visits, because they made a mistake with the scheduling and didnt have time for me. So, my first interview was difficult. The man actually got a little angry with me. He asked me many questions looking for "a specific time when blah blah blah happened" and at first i was talking in generalities and he got visibly irritated, which was kinda.... scary i guess. My experience is working in the school districts, however I have just moved to Mass. so I am looking for a job while I get certified in this state. He asked me why I don't look elsewhere, where my experience is. Then during one of my questions, he asked like he didn't believe my answer. He was basically a very rude person. Then the 2nd interviewer was much nicer.... but I think it was too late. The first interviewer did not like me. So yeah. No offer. Oh well.....

Interview Question – I can't remember. They were boring and highly detailed "real experience" type questions about working on a team or something.   Answer Question
