I applied through university. I interviewed at Target (Buffalo, NY)
Interview
It was a horrible experience. I met with recruiters a day before my interview to discuss how to prepare for the interview and they told me 8 questions that would be asked during the interview and to make sure I know how to answer those 8 questions. Well, I had my interview and none of those questions were asked. I feel like I had prepared for the wrong interview and it became one of the hardest interviews I have ever had. They said they would get back to me on Friday or Monday and it ended up taking them until Tuesday, which is kind of unfortunate it took that long. There was just a lot of lying from Target and I wish I never wasted my time with them.
