I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Target (Cupertino, CA) in Nov 2012
Interview
I applied online on their site because I saw a post for a seasonal cashier position posted on a job site and I was surprised that the next day, they called and scheduled an interview for the day after. The interview took a while- approx. 2 hours, it's my first job interview, so I don't know, but that seemed long hahaha, but it was worth it. They had me fill out a questionnaire with all these "What would you do" questions and I had 2 interview sessions- one with this very nice, friendly lady and she asked me situational questions and what my strengths and weaknesses were, what cashier experiences did I have, why did I want to work at Target and when was a time that I have taken a leadership role and went above and beyond. Second interview- the guy was more serious haha, and it kind of got me nervous, but he asked almost the same questions except he went over what times I were available, asked me some more situational questions like "If you were ringing up a customer, and the price was 19.99 but customer believes is 17.99, what would you do?" , and then sent me out to wait some more until another lady came to get me and offered me the position under the condition that I get my drug test done in 24 hours.

Question 1
Name a time when you had to do different tasks at the same time, how did you go about doing them? what was the outcome?
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 Jun 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.
