I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Philadelphia, PA) in Sep 2009
Interview
I can tell you the hiring process is slow for external hires looking for management positions. The interviews themselves are very situation based. You will be given a scenario and asked to explain the situation, your actions and the results. From your answer, they want to derive your leadership skills including problem solving, leading a team and thinking on your feet.

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.
