I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Target (Louisville, KY) in Oct 2011
Interview
I applied online and a couple of days later I got a phone call which I missed, but listened to the message and immediately called back) the woman I talked to set up an interview a day later. I was interviewed by two friendly woman at different times. The interview were sort of short. Then a few dreadful minutes later the man whose office I was in came in and offered me the job and I accepted. I then filled out a couple of forms regarding the drug an background screening and the job offering form. I chose to take the drug test right after I left because they only give you 24 hrs and I was out already. After the drug screening process they called and set up an paid orientation which was just setting in a room with other new employees discussing rules and regulations then a tour of the store. I was on the schedule the next day.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Name an experience where you had to take charge of a situation that was not going to plan and how did you fix it.
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.
