Interview
I put in an application online and about three days later, someone called. They asked some basic "what would you do" situation questions, and I believe some were even ones that were on the application assessment. They reviewed my hours. Then they asked when would be a good time for me to come in, and the next day at 3:30pm was decided on. When I came to Target the next day, I had to do some more assessment questions before I was interviewed. At the beginning of the interview, I had to watch a short video (less than five minutes). The interviewed asked if I had any questions about the video, I said no. He asked what surprised me about the company the most that was said in the video. I said how they seemed to be such a tight-knit company, ie calling their employees Team Members and calling customers Guests. They asked the question many others on Glassdoor have had about the woman not finding her child's shoe size, and the woman saying something was a different price than what rang up. Thanks to others on Glassdoor, I aced these questions and didn't have to think twice about the answers. The interviewed also said, If I were to call a past supervisor, what would they say your biggest strength be? Weakness? He never showed any interest in being at the interview, though he was listening. A second interviewed came in. She basically just went over my hours again and offered me the position on the spot. She gave me a figure ($7.50/hr). I signed some papers and she gave me another, saying I had to take a drug test at a local walk-in clinic within the next 24 hours. It was paid for by Target. All-in-all, not a hard interview. I have orientation a week from my interview and am required to wear the standard uniform.

Interview
I applied online on their site because I saw a post for a seasonal cashier position posted on a job site and I was surprised that the next day, they called and scheduled an interview for the day after. The interview took a while- approx. 2 hours, it's my first job interview, so I don't know, but that seemed long hahaha, but it was worth it. They had me fill out a questionnaire with all these "What would you do" questions and I had 2 interview sessions- one with this very nice, friendly lady and she asked me situational questions and what my strengths and weaknesses were, what cashier experiences did I have, why did I want to work at Target and when was a time that I have taken a leadership role and went above and beyond. Second interview- the guy was more serious haha, and it kind of got me nervous, but he asked almost the same questions except he went over what times I were available, asked me some more situational questions like "If you were ringing up a customer, and the price was 19.99 but customer believes is 17.99, what would you do?" , and then sent me out to wait some more until another lady came to get me and offered me the position under the condition that I get my drug test done in 24 hours.

Interview
I applied online and was called back after about one week to schedule a phone interview the next day. The phone interview was easy, and was scheduled for an interview in the store. The in store interview consisted of the same questions as the phone interview all of which I was prepared for because of other reviews here on glassdoor. The woman who interviewed me said I did a well and she said I would hear back from them within 7-10 days. I have yet to receive a response even after calling back. I'm assume they are holding out for people with more work experience than me.
