      Group Leader Interview

      Oct 10, 2009
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Target in Mar 2007

      Interview

      If you meet with a recruiter at a Job Fair, they most likely will be the one to call you. I spoke to them, they took my resume, and called later. When the recruiter calls you, this is your screen phone call. They will ask you about 5 behavioral questions. Be sure you can give specific examples of scenarios to all the questions. You can't be general with these responses. It does not matter if you have never worked in a similar job because all they care about is your thought process and if you will be able to think clearly or not, so give any example, no matter how small or unrelated it is to the position you are applying for. If they like you, they will invite you to their campus for a formal interview. They interview each candidate in pairs of two or three sometimes. You will meet with about 3 or 4 differente senior group leaders who manage people like you in your area. They all have standard questions and will again ask behavioral questions and you need to give specific example. They will rate you based on your response. You do this a few times. They send you home, and either you get a e-mail saying you didn't make it, or you get a phone call with an offer. The process is very systematic. Target seems to have hired many different companies in effort to find the best way to evaluate candidates. For group leader questions you will be asked about leadership. Not much else really. Don't worry again about your technical skill cause they don't care. Just be confident!

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Target (Savannah, GA) in Dec 2015

      Interview

      Initial screening by a recruiter at a job fair, followed by a series of phone interviews. Next is a few computer tests, then comes the in person interview. It begins with a tour of the facility, followed by a brief presentation overview of the company. Next, candidates are split off to conduct a series of interviews with the senior group leaders. Expect to interview with each SGL.

      Group Leader Interview

      Nov 11, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Target

      Interview

      She called me about a month and a half after I applied, I had pretty much forgotten about the job by then. We set up a preliminary phone interview. She called 15 after our appointment and asked me basic questions, it seemed like it went alright but I got an email a week later that said they were pursuing other candidates. Total waste of time.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How did you hear about this job? She was really intent on asking about how I heard about the distribution center and this position. I had to pretty much convince her I was interested in this job. Why would I apply if I wasn't interested?
