I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Target (Lafayette, LA)
Interview
Initial phone screen and then was invited for an on-site interview with standard "what is your weakness/biggest strength" type questions. The most annoying part was having a specific interview time but since they bring in all of the candidates at once it ended up starting 30 minutes late.
I applied online and was called next day for a phone interview. Glad I didn't waste time for an in-person interview because I found out this "Human Resource Team Member" is actually a floor team member, paid slightly above minimum wage. I am done wasting time with retail stores that title their low positions as something they are not just for a bait and switch.
I applied online. I interviewed at Target (Overland Park, KS) in Mar 2019
Interview
One of the most unprofessional experiences. The HR team leader called 6 pm Friday evening introducing herself by first name. No last name or company name in her opening sentence. I almost hung up. Had in person interview after she called last minute to reschedule.
She did almost all of the talking at the interview. She was a 5th grade teacher who got the job from a family member's recommendation. She had been working at Target for 8 months. The office area was a mess. The conference room was unusable because of boxes and stuff piled everywhere. She said I was qualified but worried that I would not stay long term (overqualified). I did my best to convince her that location, hours, and scope of job was exactly what I was looking for. She moved forward and had me choose training dates and a start date and acted as if I got the job and would call me that afternoon to finalize everything. She never gave her last name, biz card or email address. She never called or wrote back. Extremely unprofessional and disappointing.
