I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Cedar Falls, IA) in Feb 2023
Interview
Two virtual interviews that were panel interviews with three to four people. Was simple and easy and they sent lots of preparation. I think they did a good job with preparing me for the interview
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked me how I would handle conflict in the work place
For my internship you start with an online interview answering questions into the camera. Then if they like you, you have a second interview that they send you a packet to prepare with. All of the questions are about what you do in a certain scenario. Majority are management/leadership questions.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Dallas, TX) in Mar 2025
Interview
Phone screening then a zoom meeting, consist of four questions using the STAR method. Make sure you are prepared as some of the questions are looking for specific stories and not just what would you do but what did you do to get the results. Also be ready to explain your background.
