I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Philadelphia, PA) in Mar 2013
Interview
After dropping my résumé at an on campus recruiting event, I was contacted by a recruiter to set a phone call which they use as a basic 1st round interview. It was only about 20-25 minutes and flew by. It was more of a conversation, where I proved basic info about myself and my resume before answering one behavioral question.
I was invited to a second round phone interview which consists of multiple behavioral questions where I had to explain personal experiences and how they exhibited some type of behavioral action in myself. I also had to complete a 2hr online assessment.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time when you worked with someone who was difficult to cooperate with. How did you settle this? I had to describe the whole process to the interviewer as it related to how the situation arose and how it played out through the end.
It consisted of a phone screen with HR followed by 30-minute virtual interviews with three others. Overall, the process was pretty smooth. I was surprised there was no in-person portion.
