I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Target (Abilene, TX) in Oct 2013
Interview
Well, the online application was easy enough. From there I had to try and get a phone interview; this was easier said than done since depending on who the store operator is/was, they'd tell you that policy forbade them from telling you the schedule of an associate, and so they couldn't specify a day or time for you to call back and reach the HR/Personnel department. Once I got the phone interview scheduled for 9 AM, I never got a call. So, at 5 minutes to 10, I called them, at which point a basic review of the position, quoted nearly verbatim from the online application was given to me, and I was asked if I was still interested. From there, I was scheduled for another interview. Upon arriving (thankfully early) I was directed to a computer to take an online assessment that, for reasons unknown, was not part of the application process. After completing that and standing around for about 30 minutes, I was brought to an office by a manager for my interview, where he had given me "Acceptable, but not excellent" remarks on the interview questionnaire before I had even finished answering. The manager was a tool, and told me that the job paid "Not much, about $8" and informed me of the team leads, "They're both women, BUT they know what they're doing."
But, what the heck. It's income.

Question 1
I was asked a question regarding operating a cash register, which was somewhat unexpected given that I was applying to come in before store open to unload trucks and stock merchandise.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Target in Nov 2010
Interview
I interviewed with 3 team leaders for a seasonal flow team position. It was very hectic because many people were interviewing for positions on the same day. They asked many customer service related questions and about strengths and weaknesses. It was very straightforward, since I was very well prepared for the interview, I was hired on the spot.
