The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Target (San Jose, CA) in Mar 2011
Interview
The interview process was easy, you first apply online and you can choose up to 3 stores you'd like to work in. Even if the stores say that they arn't hiring, they usually are. The store that called me said they weren't hiring online, but they actually were hiring alot of people. I waited about 3 days then I got called for an interview. I came in and the first thing I had to do was sign in and then take a written test (multi-choice, and about 5 questions) To be honest, I don't think anyone actually looked at my answers, I thinbk they just stuck it in my folder. Anyways. The next part is the first of 2 interviews. The first interview was with a supervisor for one of the depoartments, and she just asked me a few questions off a list. Such as "why do want to work here?" "Tell me about a time when you worked as a team" , and then alot of questions about my availiablity and went over my application with me to make sure it was correct. After that I went back to the lobby and waited for one of the Store Managers to interview me. She pretty much asked me the same questions as the first girl, just worded differently. After that she took some notes and asked me to wait again in the lobby. Finally aboot 10 minutes lator one of the HR girls took me into a room an offered me a job. The same day I had to go in for a drug test , and then 2 days lator they called to give me a start date.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to work as a team, and why it was successful?
Was just a quick 10 minute call from the store manager, didn't take long at all. He asked if I had the availability he was looking for and if I could be punctual. Smooth process
It was overall very brief from applying to hearing back. Was just a day of meeting with a couple managers and talking through a cashier job. Nothing too out of the ordinary for a role like this.
It was interesting. Not hard at all, straightforward, and pretty open people. It was an okay interview and what you’d typically expect. So don’t stress stress it, I mean kinda try your best
