I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Target in Sep 2015
Interview
The interview process was very enjoyable. I was contacted by a recruiter and had my first phone interview set up 2 days later. It was just a get to know me and learn more about the company interview. After that we set up the second phone interview for a few days later. The recruiter sent an email with information about the company, the position, and a guide to prepare for the interview. I spent a few hours preparing for the phone interview by:
1. Reviewing questions posted on glassdoor.
2. Writing all my stories out on paper and highlighting the key points.
If I couldn't answer a question I found with one of my stories I thought of more. After the interview she told me I would be hearing back in the next 48 hours to set up the last interview at the distribution center. We set it up for the following Wednesday and were told we would be there from 8 to 12. They gave us a tour of the facility and then had us do 2 interviews with 2 higher ups in the DC. Each asked 4 behavioral based questions. They let us know we'd hear back by the end of the week if they were going forward. I found out on Friday by noon. I spent about 15 hours preparing for this interview. I reviewed my stories a lot and felt well prepared for the two interviews. Had i not taken the prep guide seriously I wouldn't have done so well. I was able to pick a story during the question being asked and started talking as soon as the question was finished. I think they liked that I was well prepared.

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?
