I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Target (Murrieta, CA) in July 2009
Interview
There was a Super Target going into a shopping center in Murrieta, so they were hiring somewhere to around 100 new employees. They did it in groups. I was scheduled to arrive at 2:30PM. When I got there, there was about 10 other people who were also scheduled to arrive at 2:30PM. When 2:30 came, a Target employee gave us a introduction and explained how the interview process was going to be. Next, we went into a room to watch something like a training video. Basically, it gave a summary of what the Target image was, and how Target employees are supposed to hold themselves. Then we each took a skills test based on the position that you applied for. Once I finished, I waited to have my first 1:1 interview. From there, they sent me to another room to wait for my second interview with a different interviewer. After that, they told me to wait for a phone call or an email... I got the email.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Have you ever been in a situation where you caught a fellow employee doing something they were not supposed to be doing? How did you handle it?
Easy smooth it was good and efficient they asked lots of questions around customers and how to handle them. The interviewer was very kind, asking if I had previous retail experience
Good, it was a new store so they were staffing up from the beginning. Honest and straightforward about job. Hours were limited because of the amount of people they onboarded at the beginning but other than that, it was a good process.
