I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Sicklerville, NJ) in June 2013
Interview
I applied online and about two weeks later I received a phone call to set up a phone interview. It was scheduled for two days later (Thursday) at 9:30am. I never received a call until the next and was told they forgot to call me. It was then rescheduled for Monday. I got the phone call that time and the interview lasted 10 minutes. I then received a phone call Thursday to come in for an interview the next day. I went in Friday and watched a 5 minute video. I was then brought into an office for my interview. I only had one interview (not two like most people). I was then offered the job 10 minutes later.

Online application was convenient and the interview process was straight forward and to the point. I was given harder than ordinary interview questions by the interview, which they disclosed afterwards, but that was because my interview was witnessed by a manager-in-training. As long as your interview does not include a manager-in-training witness, expect the interview process to be easy.
