I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Athens, GA) in Sep 2013
Interview
Behavior based interview. A few preliminary questions such as "tell me about yourself." and then 5 behavioral questions. Took about 45 minutes. I was offered an interview from a career fair and the interview was scheduled 2 weeks out. The preliminary interviewer advised me to research and implement the STAR method of interviewing. This includes describing the situation, stating all that happened in the event, and then the outcome. This is the format Target wants you to answer in.

Tell me about a time you had to make a difficult decision.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Target (Greensboro, NC)
Interview
There was a screening interview with HR and then two phone interviews. After the two phone interviews, you have an in person interview with the store manager and then district store manager. If you pass all of those then you have to go through yet another phone interview with HR.

Question 1
I had a quick phone interview with HR. She was 20 minutes late in calling me. After that I was set up for another phone interview with a store manager. The manager never called me for our scheduled phone interview. I contacted the manager through email and contacted HR through a phone call and email. I did not receive a call from anyone until the next day where she apologized for the incident. She just made excuses and reassured me that it was their fault. Really? Your fault? Obviously. I had to take an hour out of work for a manager not to call me for our VERY SCHEDULED PHONE INTERVIEW. I got set up for another interview for a few days later. At this point I was not even sure I wanted to work with the company if this was their level of professionalism. The interview was very strange. They talked about themselves for a little bit and gave me facts about their life. It was weird. It felt like that was their way to get me to give them very personal information about my life (married, kids, etc) that they are not allowed to ask in an interview. Needless to say, I did not get the position. At that point I was so annoyed with the company I did not try my best in the interview so there was no surprises.
