Interviewed Nov 2011 in Menifee, CA (took 3 days)
I applied for a seasonal job with Target about 1.5-2 weeks ago. I've applied in the past and never heard anything back but low and behold a week later a woman called me at 7:30 in the morning asking if I would come in for an interview at 11. I said I couldn't so she offered me a 3:30 slot which I took. So I go down to the store and told them what I was there for and a lady sat me down at a computer and I took a questionnaire similar to the one you fill out online the 1st time. Then I sat in the breakroom for about 45 minutes. Then I was called back and was interviewed by a very nice lady. She asked me most of the questions people on here have already posted. I was really nerves and a little jittery but she understood and everything went okay. Then I was sent back to the breakroom and waited about 20 minutes when another woman called me back. She was nice, really distracted, but nice. She asked me some more questions (some were repeats from the 1st interview) and then she offered me a job. She told me their HR person had left for the day and to come back in 2 days. When I came back, I talked with the HR woman (very nice), signed a couple forms and she told me to come back in a week for orientation, pending a clean drug test (which I don't plan on failing).
Overall it was really easy and this site helped me prepare because all the questions people talked about are more than likely the ones you'll get asked.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2 weeks)
I applied online on Thursday and was called on Mondayfor an interview. My interview was yesterday (Thursday). I arrived 10 minutes early and checked in at guest services. The employee was very friendly and led me to the kiosk where i answered 20 questions about different situations, and had to determine the best and worst responses. After I finished I went back to guest services and she called HR to let them know I was waiting. She called back a few times. there weren't any chairs nearby so I had to stand and wait about 20 minutes for someone to come and escort me to an interview room. I waited 10 more minutes then was interviewed by a very nice manager. He asked me 5 questions, asking me to "tell me time when..." Then we discussed my availability and I was left to wait some more. The next interview was given by an executive team member who was also friendly and laid back. She asked similar questions, a few were slightly different. Afterwards I waited a little longer then the HR rep came back in and offered me the job after i pass the drug and background check.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
Sent in an application, called up the store and attempted to speak with the store manager, took 3 calls in one day to be able to speak to the manager and was offered if I wanted to be interviewed and accepted. Day of the interview I walked into the store casual (jeans and a tshirt) and not in a suit like I had planned to. Was told to go to the back of the store into their break room I guess, sat down and was given an assessment test of 20 questions to fill out on paper. Was talking to a young lady who was also being interviewed there and anyone else who came in to the room (guess Target liked that). I was given 2 1:1 interviews, one right after the other and the second person who interviewed me told me they would like to and are certainly moving forward with me and now would wait for Monday to continue the process. Questions were easy and were read off of a packet where they write down your answers. Questions asked included:
1. Why do you want to work for Target?
2. If we would speak to your old managers/supervisors/teachers what would they say your strengths are?
3. What about area(s) of improvement?
4. Name a time you were assigned to work in an area that was out of your skill set?
5.Name a time you worked with someone to accomplish a goal.
6. Name a time you worked with a team and how you accomplished your goal.
7. Name a time you were asked to work with someone who you were frustrated with and what happened?
Best advice is to stay completely calm, be friendly, smile a lot and be honest with your answers. If you have trouble answering them because you have no work experience, the people interviewing you will help you find a situation in life to refer to.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
I don't know if I got the job, the interview was just today. I wanted to write because it was somewhat different than what I read on here. I came in and was put on the computer to fill out some situational questions. It took 3 people to figure this out. I knew because they told me on the phone. Then I had to wait at the snack bar and both interviewers were there so I am glad I didn't get on my phone and say something dumb. The first was really quiet and not very outgoing so I had to be more reserved. She read my resume' but didn't take it. The other woman interviewed another woman right behind us so I could hear her questions as well as all the other noise in there. After the first left I moved and waited for the other woman who pretty much repeated the questions. There were no 3 folders to see if you got the job and they didn't hire anyone on the spot-they told the other woman the same as they told me. It's did not take all day and they did not offer any drug tests, etc.

I received a call from an HR representtaive asking for a convienient time to come in for an interview. Upon arriving at the store I was sent to guest services to wait for someone to come get me for my interview. The HR Team Lead interviewed me first then my second interview was with a LOD and then an STL. I was offered the position after the interviewing process was completed over the phone. It was a pleasant expereince. Everyone was very professional.
