Interview is typically 2-3 interviews. Store level and then with District manager. Majority of questions are geared around problem solving. Tell me a time when you had to overcome a challenge to get results.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why should we hire you. As a former manager this question always freezes candidates. Simply because they believe talking about their work experience speaks for itself. Wrong. The question is designed to see how you view yourself as a leader and how you can contribute to the leadership team with Target.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Target in Jul 2013
Interview
I received an email from them, accommodate a interview with me, asking about what is the date and time that i prefer, very professional and polite. HR called in at the exact time that we arranged, asked some background and behavioural questions, no reply after the first round.

Question 1
tell you a time you have to comprise with your teammate, how did you solve the problem, in details.
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Cincinnati, OH) in Dec 2012
Interview
I interviewed through an on-campus interview and thought it went well but not the greatest. I really clicked with one interviewer but the other was cold. I then was interviewed two more times. Both were very interested in me and told me I would be starting within two weeks and it was mine. I then had to interview with a District Leader who asked me the same questions but could not answer any of my questions as he was new. I was then offered a job for less than half the pay of the Executive Team Leader. This was a total slap in the face and waste of time. I'm not sure why the district leader did not like me. He said I wasn't able to answer the questions to his level. I was really rubbed the wrong way, not because I didn't get the job but because I was told it was mine and then turned down for not answering how he thought I should. I found it contradictory as I asked him three job specific questions and he couldn't answer any.

Question 1
None, I was prepared for all the questions and did my homework.
