I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Target in Aug 2012
Interview
I registered with Target on-line and submitted my resume. About 3 days later an HR person out of Minneapolis called me to set-up a phone interview. This occurred a few days later. The phone interview consisted of a variety of character and situational questions. Apparently I passed this interview and was set-up for an in store interview about 2 weeks later. At the Target I applied for I met for a very informal interview with the Store Manager and the Store HR lead. Then immediately had another phone interview with the District Manager. Assuming it all went well, I received an e-mail about 2 weeks later stating that I was not hired and that they would not tell me why.

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.
