I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Albany, CA) in Oct 2012
Interview
I applied online and was called back after about one week to schedule a phone interview the next day. The phone interview was easy, and was scheduled for an interview in the store. The in store interview consisted of the same questions as the phone interview all of which I was prepared for because of other reviews here on glassdoor. The woman who interviewed me said I did a well and she said I would hear back from them within 7-10 days. I have yet to receive a response even after calling back. I'm assume they are holding out for people with more work experience than me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would a teacher/employer say are your weaknesses and what are your strengths.
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.
