I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Target in May 2013
Interview
Very rigid interview process; consists of four interviews- initial two w/ Store Team Leaders; third with District Leader, and finally phone interview with Regional (Group) Leaders. Interviewers use a packet in which they ask and record all responses. Very little concern about how much you know about the company (although it's definitely good to know as much as possible). Questions are indeed, very leadership-oriented. I had 15 different leadership examples from a variety of supervisory and leadership experiences; and still had a difficult time aligning a response to some of the questions. Definitely do not try to answer any prospective questions before the interview, just know your stories really well, and be ready to adapt and mould them to an unforeseen question.

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.
