I applied through college or university. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Target (Bemidji, MN) in Apr 2013
Interview
Target uses the STAR method of interviewing, they ask a questions and they expect you to reply with a good example or situation, explain what the situation was about and why it is relevant to the question, how you dealt with the situation, and how the situation was resolved. If you can master this technique no question is too difficult, they just expect a good strong conclusion. I was only interviewed by one person and am not sure what the norm is.

Question 1
The most difficult question that was asked was coming up with a difficult situation that I resolved and how I resolved it. It wasn't that difficult but it was the hardest of all the questions as I wanted to make my answer as relevant to both retail and "team building" as possible.
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
