Declined Offer – Interviewed in Sep 2009 – Reviewed Nov 24, 2009
Interview Details The process was easy overall. They were very kind and helpful throughout the entire process. The interview was fairly casual and consisted of basic questions like "describe yourself in three words," "tell me about a difficult situation you overcame," and "how do you work with others." It was straightforward and easy.

Executive Team Leader at Target
No Offer – Interviewed in Aug 2012 – Reviewed May 19, 2013 New
Interview Details I registered with Target on-line and submitted my resume. About 3 days later an HR person out of Minneapolis called me to set-up a phone interview. This occurred a few days later. The phone interview consisted of a variety of character and situational questions. Apparently I passed this interview and was set-up for an in store interview about 2 weeks later. At the Target I applied for I met for a very informal interview with the Store Manager and the Store HR lead. Then immediately had another phone interview with the District Manager. Assuming it all went well, I received an e-mail about 2 weeks later stating that I was not hired and that they would not tell me why.
Interview Question – Describe a situation in which you failed as a leader or supervisor and explain how you would go about it now and what lessons you have learned from it all. Answer Question

Executive Team Leader at Target
Accepted Offer – Reviewed May 19, 2013 New
Interview Details I don't remember how long ago I had applied, but it was on line. I had an initial phone screen with a local Target recruiter, then a more in depth/formal interview with the same recruiter later that week (behavioral based questions) . I also had to take an online skills test - probably the least fun part of the process. From there, I received a call from a corporate recruiter to set up a face to face interview with an STL and DTL - I met with them a week later. The STL interview was about 20 minutes - all behavioral questions. The DTL was about an hour - half behavioral questions then more of an open dialog. I was set up with a phone interview with the group leader - 15 minutes max - why target...career goals....one behavior question. I received a call about 2 hours later with an offer.
Interview Question – All behavioral based questions - just remember to use the STAR method...specific task, action, result....they will remind you at the beginning of each interview. Answer Question

Interview Details I had to go in at 9:30 Pm and do a questionnaire on the computer. Then I was given interview which were about 7 behavioral questions. The interviewer explained to me in great detail about getting merchandise to the floor and the system that they use. So I was told that I will be getting a phone call within the next couple days. I waited and never received a phone call, so I checked my email and saw that I didn't get the job.
Interview Question – There really wasn't one. Answer Question

Overnight Flow Team Lead at Target
No Offer – Interviewed in San Jose, CA (US) May 2013 – Reviewed May 17, 2013 New
Interview Details Was called, scheduled for a six A.M. in person interview a few days after completing online application. Arrived and met with department manager. Woman had obviously not looked over application as she expressed surprise over supervisory experience. Was asked 5 questions, then told to wait while she asked her boss what he wanted to do. Was eventually told they were not doing second interviews as she had more people to talk to, am I would receive a call later in the week. Six days later received an email stating no position was being offered.
Interview Question – Asked to confirm availability, if I could lift over 50 pounds. Then asked 3 institutional questions: describe a time you worked with a team, describe a time you worked with a team when you had limited time, describe a time you provided exceptional customer service.
