Target Distribution Center Group Leader interview questions

A target recruiter called out of the blue to describe the open position and determine if there was interest. After interest was expressed the recruiter scheduled a series of two to three phone screening interviews. A mixture of regular questions were asked paired with situational questions. After I passed the phone interview portions an on-site interview was scheduled. The on-site interviews consisted of three panel interviews with senior group leaders, general managers, and HR managers. Very strange environment. I was taken to multiple rooms for interviews and multiple areas while waiting by myself in between them. Each interview was lead by casually dressed individuals reading from a very scripted interview packet. You start to wonder if any of them could stand on their own two feet without the packets. Notes were taken on the packets in an obvious situation, action, result format. Important to have extremely specific examples prepared ahead of time that follow that format of what was the situation, what did you do, and what were the results of the actions. Best advice I can give is to have up to twelve examples rehearsed in the SAR format ahead of time.Good luck with the interview process. Get ready to appear as though you drank the kool-aid. Some of the questions were as follows: Tell me about a time when you brought up an issue to someone else that others were not comfortable bringing up. Tell me about a time when you challenged someone to do a better job. Describe a person you have had the most difficulty motivating. Tell me about a time when you failed to deliver on a work commitment. Provide an example when you helped someone improve their work performance. Tell me about a time when you challenged the opinion of another in a group setting. Describe a time when you hit a barrier or challenge to accomplish a goal.
