I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Target (Los Angeles, CA) in July 2013
Interview
I was interviewed, and eventually hired, for an entry-level cashier position. The interview process was very straightforward and not stressful. I met with first an HR rep who asked me about my availability. I explained my situation with school and she was very candid and nice. Waited for a bit then was interviewed by the hiring manager. This was the "real" interview. Again, she was very nice. Asked fairly simple and common questions; "Name a situation in school/work where you had to overcome a difficulty.", "What would your previous supervisor say about you." things like that. Next I met with the head of HR who, again, was nice. She simply asked me about myself, what I'm studying in school, things like that. Overall it took no more than an hour and was not stressful. People at Target are awfully nice, which might throw people off but don't let it. Oh yeah, they have you watch a kind of training video. Pay attention because I was asked a couple questions from that. Sort of like a quiz but not too hard. Just pay attention.

Question 1
Most unexpected question was from the video I watched. Didn't think they'd expect you to pay attention but they do.
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
Standard process, STAR method is good to use in interviews like this. Wear nice clothing not too dressed up not too formal and be friendly. Positive environment not super high pressure

I applied online. I interviewed at Target (Miramar, FL) in June 2026
Interview
I answered 5 recorded interview questions and 1 Q&A. You get 2-3 mins to answer the 5 questions, and the Q&A has no time limit, it was surprisingly easy to prepare myself for.
