I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Target (Tampa, FL) in Dec 2010
Interview
I applied, the I got a phone call to come in. I had my interview with a GE (Guest Experience) ETL who was first starting out herself. The interview was pretty easy and short, the interviewer was much more nervous than I am so I had no problem (plus the phone kept ringing.) At the end of the interview she told me that I had the job.
I then came another day for the orientation and that was it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain a situation where you had to dealt with hard situation
It was two interviews. The first one was a recorded interview for 15 minutes and the second interview was in person. The questions were very similar. It is common questions that they would ask for being in retail.
Was just a quick 10 minute call from the store manager, didn't take long at all. He asked if I had the availability he was looking for and if I could be punctual. Smooth process
It was overall very brief from applying to hearing back. Was just a day of meeting with a couple managers and talking through a cashier job. Nothing too out of the ordinary for a role like this.
