I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Target in Jul 2009
Interview
It took me a month to two to get hired. So many Targets around with open cashier positions after calling and telling them that I have applied to their store, they were saying that everything is closed and confused how I did apply. Many of them were mean. Only because one of my friend worked at specific Target I got hired.
One of the manager told me to come by after 2 weeks for an interview. First they put us in one room to watch videos about Target (about 2 to 5 of them, they were short about 10 to 20 minutes) with another future employer. The other part was an interview one by one. Interview was by that time is hard for me with about 20 to 30 different questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How I can take care of an angry and dissatisfy customer?
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.
