I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Hilo, HI) in Dec 2013
Interview
There were two interviews, and a job shadow. The first interview I met with a manager, the next was with the head of all of the Targets in the state. The job shadow took place between the two interviews. The process took around 3 weeks to finish. When I had the shadow, all of the HR people were surprised because they said they've never seen an intern do a shadow before they were hired. They all said that I was almost guaranteed the internship, as long as my last interview went well. I thought it did but I did not receive the internship. I still wonder about why I didn't receive it, I felt perfect for the job. Be prepared for very general questions in the form of "tell me about a time when..." Before my interview, I wrote down a ton of situations I have been through that may come up in the form of a question, just so that I would have an idea on hand. It is difficult to come up with an answer to questions like these when you are not prepared because you try to search through your entire past in your head while the interviewer is just staring at you waiting to hear what you have to say. So my best advice would be to be prepared to answer many situational questions.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself, why fo you want this role.
I interviewed with a company I met at a recent career fair. They stood out to me not only because of the role they were offering, but also because of how friendly and approachable the team was. I have prior experience in retail leadership, which aligned well with the position, and our conversation made it clear that they value those types of hands-on, team-oriented skills. The interaction left me with a strong impression that this would be a great group of people to work with.

Intern interview was very reasonable. Being interested in retail and asking pertinent questions was important. On campus interview made it easy. Was a good experience overall. Was not too stressful. Key is to be personable.
