Interviewed Jan 2012 in Phoenix, AZ (took 2 days)
I was called in for an interview after applyinf on line and taking an assesment online. Then had to take another assesment before the interview that was only available in the store. The interview was a three step process. First with a supervisor, then another interview with two managers, then a final interview a few days later with the store manager.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Albuquerque, NM (took 2 weeks)
Fast, fun and friendly ;) I began working at Target as part time in the photo lab. Within the first month I was asked to attend a panel interview called " Meet the Talent". 2 weeks later I was offered a GSA position and took it right away, I was so excited that my hard work was paying off :) a GSA is a guest service associate, front lanes manager. By this time out store was under going remodel for the new "p-fresh" grocery section. About 3 weeks prior to our grand opening I was asked if I would consider taking on the "PA" role,ummm yes!! It is a perishables assistant, in other words I kinda run the area as well as order all the food 3 times a week! I was so excited!! I went through 3 interviews... 1 with the hard lines ETL, 1 with the Connsummables CTL and then 1 with my GSTL. I was given the position right away. I have been doing that now for about 5 months. I was recently offered a TL position for hard lines and am waiting for my final interview with the DTL, it will be a phone interview. I have already interviewed with my Hardlines ETL, HR & STL and am just waiting for the DTL to sign me off and I will be ready to start :) loves this company!!!

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took a day)
The interview began with a walk through within the Target store. Be sure to notice any minor details because they will ask you what you would like to change or improve on in this particular Target later.
After the walk through, we proceeded into (2) 1:1 and (1) 2:1 interviews. It was a bit exhausting because majority of the questions asked for examples/stories on how you handled situations. All the answers should include: situation, action, result.
Be sure to stress their culture: Fun, Fast, and Friendly.
Smile a lot and show that you are able to work effectively with everyone. Although the interviewer gave me props for mingling with other co-workers while waiting in between interviews, she said that I came off as too intense from the beginning. She explained that being a team leader, it is important that your team is comfortable approaching you with any suggestions or concerns. Therefore, show off your ability to get along with everyone.
In conclusion, be a strong leader who takes accountability and effectively communicates with all team members. Be friendly and smile plenty to everyone as soon as you step into the store.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in San Jose, CA (took 5 days)
This interview was for an internal promotion. This was still the same interview process as an external hire. They use very standard interview questions, three basic questions then three situational questions. I had three rounds of interviews for the position. two in the store and another one at the district office. Background and drug test required.

Interviewed Sep 2010 (took a day)
Initially there is a computer job application to fill out. Have all your info with you. If your availability matches what they are looking for you are called for an interview.
This interview in usually done by a team lead. The personal interview asks questions related to responsibility and performance. If you were in this situation....What would you do? The questions are the same for everyone. They are read off a sheet and the interviewer will write down what you say.
If you can think fast and they like you, they will proceed to the second interview which will be done by management and you will be presented with a job offer before yo leave with a contingency to passing a drug/background check within 24 hours.
People were nice all the way around. I did have to wait a bit to get trough the whole interview process. I think it took about 2 hours.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Target has a pay scale for each job and there is not much negotiation. However there is a little room to negotiate. It is not like the ETL level.
Annual reviews are intense and based on performance. It was very easy to max out at my level. Raises for OUTSTANDING performance were about .65 with merit increase. Now it is about half that since I'm maxed out. Some regular team members have not seen a raise in 7 years?

I applied In-Person and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

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 Nov 2011 (took a day)
I was contacted by HR to schedule a face to face interview. I came about 30 minutes early to complete an online assessment test. Afterwards I had three one-on-one interviews with two executive team leads and finally the store manager. I was called later on that same day with an offer and instructions to go into the office the following week to pick-up the drug testing paperwork.
Overall, everyone was very friendly. While sitting in the office, I was able to look around and saw many things which impressed me (volunteer opportunities, minutes from staff meetings with followups, and general postings which promoted team unity). It was an atmosphere where pretty much everyone there was happy to be there-something which isn't always the case in retail.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
They wanted me to have more retail experience and gave me an offer for a lower position. Unfortunately, I could not afford to take the financial hit (there was no guarantee of 40 hours per week). I needed something more stable and had to decline. If I had been younger and at a different place in my life, I'm sure Target would have been a great employer.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, an IQ/Intelligence Test, a Personality Test and a Drug Test.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Kailua Kona, HI (took a day)
Was scheduled for an interview in the employee commons area of the store. It was done in three parts with three different managers of varying sections of the staff. The process is normally scheduled for a two day interview process but they were able to squeeze me in within the first day. They were thorough and asked very similar questions until the last manager. This person changed it up a little and asked about disciplining and reviewing staff and possible termination procedures I would follow. This is where I lost my chance I believe due to my inexperience in the termination of employees. I'm sure it happens more often than I expect but I never had to terminate an employee in my management experience.
They gave the job I found out to the other gentleman that was interviewing that same day.
