The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Target (DeKalb, IL) in Aug 2010
Interview
HR contacted me the next day after applying online to set up a phone interview. I set up the interview two days later, and we went over some basic questions and the overall responsibilities of the job. Then we set up another interview two days later for the behavioral questions. They look for specific examples, leadership type, and the role you played in the situation. Use the STAR format (Situation, Task, Actions, and Result). If you don't use this, then it's your own fault because they tell you to use it.
After the behavioral questions, they said I will be contacted in one to two weeks by email or phone. I will update this when they contact me.

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?
