I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Knoxville, TN) in Aug 2012
Interview
After applying online they called me to setup an interview. I set my appointment at 12:00 It took them 30 minutes until the actual interview began. They than took me into a room in their offices and asked me a series of questions. There were a lot of essay questions, highly unnecessary for such a trivial job. I got an email a week later saying I didn't get the job. They will pay everyone 7.25 an hour and there is no negotiating. Seems like a very corporalt place to work that does not care about their employees, after several testimonials from current employees.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time you had to do something you were not familiar with and succeeded.
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.
It was interesting. Not hard at all, straightforward, and pretty open people. It was an okay interview and what you’d typically expect. So don’t stress stress it, I mean kinda try your best
