      Department Manager Interview

      Aug 4, 2010
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Target in Jul 2010

      Interview

      The interview itself was a very easy, simple process. Basic questions like, "why do you want to work for us", "How long do you see yourself working here", "Describe a time when you gave great customer service," The offer made was horrible. I don't know how anyone could make it on what they pay.

      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Target in Feb 2009

      Interview

      I applied on line through there website, and I received a call back to attend a interview. Once at the interview the manager really liked me so he asked me to stay for a second interview, that manager liked me so they asked me to come back for a second interview. That manager liked me so they asked me to take a skills test and meet with district manager. At that point it took them about a week to offer me a position. They are all very outgoing and like to speak with people who are upbeat.
