Target Protection Specialist at Target
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Jul 2009 – Reviewed Jul 21, 2009
Interview Details –
I was initially contacted over the phone by an HR rep from the local store, and asked basic questions such as the positions I applied for and my job availability.
Two days later I met in person with the Assets Protection Leader and the Store Team Leader for one on one interviews. The AP Leader specifically asked questions about my professional experiences, my education, volunteer activities, and spent a bit of time talking about assets protection and loss prevention items. Both interviews involved around 5-6 behavioral type questions, such as asking how you handled incidents in the past such as coworker conflict, ethics, and group leadership.

Target Protection Specialist at Target
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in May 2011 – Reviewed Sep 1, 2011
Interview Details –
I applied online and was contacted a a few days later to set up an interview. At my interview I first met with the manager or ETL of softlines. She asked me behavioral questions with the answering needing to be in the format of situation, behaviors, and outcomes. She took notes on all of my answers on the booklet she had. (After working at Target for awhile I have found out that they score your answers on the scope, complexity, and effort of the answer you gave)
After the interview with her I waited in the same office and the manager of Assets Protection came in and asked me some different (but mostly the same questions). At the end of the interview he asked if I could sit around for a few minutes and he conferred with the other manager. After only about 5 minutes he came back and offered me the position. I then filled out some more paperwork and did some more online fill out stuff.
