I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Target in Apr 2013
Interview
I submitted an application online and got a call to set up an interview about a week later. My interview was in the early morning and the first thing I did was take a standard test with workplace situations (ex: Is it ever okay to steal from the company?). I then went and waited until I was brought into a back room in the employ-only area, where I watched a video about Target. It proved useful to pay attention to this, as the answers to situational questions were found there. I was then taken to a back room where my first interview took place. The interviewer went through the standard questions then moved onto situational questions. There were mostly asking for specific examples that followed the format of: the situation, the steps you took to resolve it, the resolution, what you learned, and the outcome. These were fairly easy and I was soon taken to another room to do a second interview. This interview followed the same format with slightly more specific situational questions. I was offered the job on the spot and filled out and went over the technicalities in store.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would you do if a guest disputed the price of an item?
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.
