Simple. I was called for an interview, made an appointment, went, standard type interview. They followed up with a job offer within 2 weeks. The job offer was contingent on passing a physical fitness test.

I applied online. I interviewed at Target (Albany, OR) in Mar 2017
Interview
In order to get called into an interview as a direct hire you need to do the online application, including a 100 question personality test. Usually you get called within a few weeks. Starts with an interview with a departmental hiring manager. Questions are mainly softball and interview lasts 30 minutes. Trick is they don't tell you what shift until the end of the interview. After that you go a room and an HR Rep meets you and tells you "congrats your hired". It seemed that of the 25 people interviewed the same day almost all were hired.

Describe a situation in any setting where you had to deal with an upset customer, and how did you respond?
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Target (Catawba, NC) in Jul 2017
Interview
Literally the entire interview process (07/5/17)
We were sitting in main lobby in groups. Group of 8. At the start we toured the building. After tour we sat in lobby again. Each individual was taken back by interviewer so it was 1:1. After the 1 on 1 was through another interviewer came into the room and talked. When the second person came into the room I was then offered a position. After being offered I was sent into a break room where then came an HR representative explained to me some things; filled out two pieces of paperwork. Ten minutes later the on site nurse came in at the point I knew there was a DRUG TEST( yes they drug test) she had me fill out some paperwork then was tested on a 9 panel urine test. She had me empty out all pockets and lift up my pants. The usual. After drug test I sat down on a computer to submit consent for target to pull my background and check it. After that I then left. They let you know when your orientation is and you're set from there IF you pass drug test and back ground check. **They do not let you know if you passed day off** i'm still awaiting my results.
Everything took about 4 hours. Not sure why so long.
I don't remember all the interview questions but I do remember that they were situational based. STAR METHOD. If you're unfamiliar with what that is google it. Literally 4 main interview structured-based questions. Was cake!!
