The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Target in May 2011
Interview
I received a phone call after posting my resume on an online database, and was offered an interview for the Executive Team Leader position. I kept in contact via telephone for a week before my interview. The interview consisted of 3 sessions of 2 group interviews with two interviewers each session and one last one on one interview. In each interview, I was asked almost all identical questions that were different only by different wording. All questions were situational questions asking how I handled certain situations. The similar yet different wording made the questions confusing and by the end of the interview I couldn't think straight. My last interviewer told me I would receive a phone call within the next week. However, I received an email a few days later saying they were going to consider other applicants. I would have much rather a phone call declining an offer since before that email, I was only contacted via phone. My advice would be to think of several situations where you solved a problem, caused a problem and how you fixed it, and situations similar to those. Also, I believe they were looking for consistency within the different interviews, by hearing the same stories for each question that was the same yet worded differently.

Interview
It was a two step interview process. Personable and you are able to interview with not only your direct managers but theirs as well. Provides transparency into your new team. My interview was virtual because I was moving to the area, but I'm sure they do in person for local folks.
