I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Target in Oct 2009
Interview
The interview consisted of three different one on one interviews. Then they brought in a human resources manager and district manager. I thought the interviews went well only to never hear from Target again even though they told me they would at least email me if I did not get the job. Hardly anyone at our university was contacted. Lacked class by Target.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about a time when you have to overcome negative obstacles.
The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Target (Boulder, CO) in Nov 2009
Interview
Two interviews:
1. two people asked behavioral questions about my past(maybe like 10)
2. two people asked more behavioral based questions(one person asking the other writing)
These were all on the same day because they came to my school. Got done with one and then went right into the next one.
The 2nd group was cool and we vibed well I thought.
I was very professional with them, doing what was asked right away(ie. applying online) and sent thank you notes and what else you're supposed to do but they chose not to even be professional by not even sending me an email me to say that I didn't get the job.
The next part was a test with analytical problems and personality test and how I'd react to certain situations at work(ie. firings, motivation...).

Question 1
Describe a time when you had a win-win situation and you convinced the other person to go with your choice.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Loveland, CO) in Nov 2009
Interview
The process started a little strangely, I went in to interview for an hourly seasonal position, and after two interviews with team members, I was asked to stay and talk with two managers about the ETL position due to my degree and experience. All four interviews that day were fairly straightforward, the first two were simple behavioral question based (these were for the hourly job) and the second two were more difficult, very similar to engineering interviews. Each interview was about 30-45 minutes long with about 10 minutes between them, and they were all one on one. After the interviews I was asked to apply for the position online, which I did later that day. I was then asked to complete a skills/personality test, which was surprisingly difficult and very logic and math based. It took around an hour and required a good amount of time and thought. This was all about two weeks ago and I got a call today to schedule an interview with a district manager, which is a week away. I'll report back on that after it's done.
