I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Target (Portland, OR) in Nov 2011
Interview
It was pretty standard. They asked for your experience, what you think your strengths are and what you think your weaknesses are. I got called for the interview the day after I applied for the fourth time. I had been applying for three months before that. I was interviewed for a seasonal position. I made it clear I intended to work for the company after seasonal ended and I ended up being one of the people kept on. I found the office organized and the interviewer to be kind and to know what they were looking for in an employee.
It was overall very brief from applying to hearing back. Was just a day of meeting with a couple managers and talking through a cashier job. Nothing too out of the ordinary for a role like this.
It was interesting. Not hard at all, straightforward, and pretty open people. It was an okay interview and what you’d typically expect. So don’t stress stress it, I mean kinda try your best
Standard process, STAR method is good to use in interviews like this. Wear nice clothing not too dressed up not too formal and be friendly. Positive environment not super high pressure
