I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Midway, GA)
Interview
I applied through college and I went through 3 interviews.
First interview: Two people interviewed me. They asked me 5 behavioral questions. The interview lasted 30 minutes. A couple of days later the recruiter called me to tell me they would like to move to the next step
Second interview: On-site interview. Three different interviews back to back, each of them with two interviewers. They also asked me some behavioral questions (5 each). They also gave me a tour for the distribution center. Each interview lasted 30 – 40 minutes. Long day…. A couple of days later the recruiter called me to schedule the last interview.
Third interview: A phone interview with the Group Leader director. It only lasted 10 minutes. He asked me one behavioral question and 3 or 4 general questions such as: my weaknesses and strengths, why target, leadership experience… 4 days later I received an offer

Question 1
Describe a time when you made a big mistake and tell us how you handled it.
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.

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?
