      Seasonal Sales Associate Interview

      11 Dec 2013
      Anonymous interview candidate
      West Des Moines, IA
      No offer
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Target (West Des Moines, IA)

      Interview

      I applied online for a seasonal position and had to complete a personality test of sorts; with questions such as "My friends would say I have a positive attitude on life"-->Agree strongly; mostly agree; neutral; mostly disagree; strongly disagree. This took a good 30 minutes. I was called a day or two later and asked to come in for an interview. At the store, you have to complete a second series of questions, similar to the first. I was interviewed by what I believe was an entry-level manager. She asked me a few questions, such as "Tell me about a weakness" and "If a pair of shoes rings up at $19.99 and the customer insists its $15.99, what would you do?" Fortunately, I was prepared for most of these questions since a majority of them are listed on here. At the conclusion of the first interview, I was asked if I could stay for a second. I agreed and a different team leader entered the room. He asked me the same series of questions the first interviewer did. I was asked to sign paperwork indicating my shift availability and was given a phone number to call for a government tax-credit program. Ultimately, I received an e-mail early on the 30th indicating that I was not selected for the position.
