I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Target
Interview
Every question that I was asked was listed on this site. Look over them and be prepared to answer them. The position that I was applying for was in another state. I was called shortly applying for a position online. Called by HR. Scheduled a second interview for a couple of weeks later with a store team leader. Nailed that phone interview and then another STL called about 1 hour afterwards for another interview. I did not know that this was going to happen but was told that it was standard procedure. After a little hesitation, I got on my feet and did well.
They moved me onto a video interview. I had to go to the local Target store where I was sent to a back room with a web camera and a TV. I proceeded to be interviewed by the district team leader. He was very dry, was texting as we were talking, asked questions from a script and writing down my responses.
At the end of the interview he told me that he actually didn't have a position open in his district but would check with other District leaders. About week or two later HR emailed me with a very general statement of decline. Stated to keep applying. I have applied for about 20 other positions all over the US and have never been contacted for any of them but delcined for about 10 of them. I stopped applying. I figure they just did that to give me hope but probably have me on a list or something not to hire for a certain period (not sure but betting on it as other companies have done the same.)
Best advice is to be very upbeat and positive, have answers to the questions listed on this site, research the positions that you want, ask them questions, and show them how you meet their needs.
I think that I didn't get hired b/c in the last interview, I didn't show them how I could meet their needs and I didn't have research on the specific ETL position that I wanted. (I thought that I was applying for all ETL positions but he wanted the specifics and how I met those. I was not prepared and it showed.) I'll be honest, I did well with the first HR interview and then rocked the next two. The problem is that I blew the last one. It's my fault but I do wonder if they really didn't have a position open in his district (if, that's the case, why were they interviewing me).
Target looks like a great place to work with lots of opportunities but the life of a team leader seems very stressful and busy. I"m kind of glad that I didn't get it.
Good luck!
Got the interview from a career fair. Met with one person who handled hiring and had a great conversation and had one other phone interview. Asked me relevant questions and I was excited about the role

Question 1
What do you think would make you a good fit for this role?
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Target (Charlotte, NC)
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.
