I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Target (Brooklyn, NY) in Oct 2012
Interview
I applied mid September. A friend works at the one I was interested in working at and she asked HR to pull my app up. I was called the beginning of October. I was scheduled to have an over-the-phone interview on the 16th. The person who interviewed me over the phone was EXTREMELY nice. It wasn't a stiff conversation and she made it easy to understand the questions. She also laughed a lot which made me more comfortable. After completing the first interview, I was told to come in the next day for an in-person interview which was at 3pm. I arrived at abut 2:30 and was sat in a room with other applicants where I had to complete a questionnaire. Basic what would you do questions, easy. I was than called in by a really nice young man. He basically asked me the what would you do and name a time where questions similar to the over-the-phone one. I was asked if I had any questions in which I asked bout transitioning from Seasonal to Regular Part-Time and about students being able to move up even while attending school. After that in-person interview I was told to sit back in the waiting room to be called again. 2 minutes later I was called by a female who offered me the position and explained Drug Testing and Background Testing procedures, Pay and Orientation date.
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.
