Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Fond du Lac, WI Jul 2009 – Reviewed Jan 15, 2011
Interview Details – I had three, one on one interviews with the management staff who recited "situational" questions from an interview booklet. It was obvious that they had no training on what to look for in a candidate, how to respond to a candidate, etc. I know now later after being on the interviewing side that employees are entirely picked by who they "like" best.
Interview Question – Name three things about your prior job experience in which you made a mistake. What was the mistake, who did it effect and how did you react to it and correct the situation Answer Question
Negotiation Details – No negotiating.

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Chicago, IL Feb 2010 – Reviewed Apr 10, 2010
Interview Details – I interviewed for a Flow Team Lead Position. The interview consisted of three 30 minute interviews with an HR representative, an Executive Team Leader (Assistant Store Manager) and the Store Manager. The interview questions were behavioral/situational based and focused heavily on leadership experience. Overall it was a good experience. The skills test took about 30-45 minutes and tested math skills as well as behavioral/situational skills. The test also sought answers relating to your personality and how you interact with others.

- What role do you usually fill in a team? Answer Question
Negotiation Details – There was very little negotiation but Target pays for performance. If you perform well you will be recognized for your performance.

No Offer – Interviewed in Plainfield, IN Jan 2010 – Reviewed Mar 10, 2010
Interview Details – Initial communication was a phone call from a recruiter from the company. The recruiter asked a few situational interview questions during this phone call. After those questions, they scheduled a phone interview 3 days later. The phone interview lasted 30 minutes and consisted of mostly situational questions such as "Give me an example of a time you had to coach a difficult employee and what you did to bring about a change in their behavior?" There were also questions such as "What would your boss say is something you need to work on or what would your employees say you need to work on?" Overall the questions were very typical of what you would expect in the first interview with a company.
Interview Question – What would your current boss say is something you need to work on? Answer Question

No Offer – Interviewed in Huntington Beach, CA Dec 2009 – Reviewed Jan 1, 2010
Interview Details – Applied online and received a call from HR after about a week and a half. Took the online personality and skills test and then interviewed with with 2 ETLs. Both were very pleasant and professional. Both interviews consisted almost entirely of situational questions relating to previous work experiences. Definitely recommend practicing ahead of time as recalling some events, with little time to think, gets tough. I am scheduled to interview with the store manager next week., 6 days after my first interview session. So seems pretty quick so far.
