I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Stuarts Draft, VA) in Feb 2018
Interview
I was contacted through Indeed by the a recruiter. I agreed to speak with her over the phone. The first phone call we had was a screening phone call. She asked basic questions about myself and my history. At the end of the call she asked if I had any questions and stated that the next step would be to submit an application online and then wait for an email regarding a second phone call. I received the email a couple days later and scheduled my next interview.
When she called me for the second interview she didn't waste anytime on beginning the questioning. She reminded me that the questions should be answered using the STAR method. I did some research on the method before the phone call and thought I had a good idea of the things that I needed to say. Unfortunately I did not give myself enough time to practice and I do not feel like I answered that questions to the best of my ability. She must have agreed because she ended the call be saying that she had a few more interviews to complete and I would know something by the end of the week 'either way.'
Today I got an email from HR stating that I was not chosen to move on in the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time that you had to leverage information or resources to complete a task? (Not exact but close)
Tell me about a time you failed.
Tell me about a time you challenged a manager's decision.
Tell me about a time you worked well with someone in spite of your differences.
For my internship you start with an online interview answering questions into the camera. Then if they like you, you have a second interview that they send you a packet to prepare with. All of the questions are about what you do in a certain scenario. Majority are management/leadership questions.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Dallas, TX) in Mar 2025
Interview
Phone screening then a zoom meeting, consist of four questions using the STAR method. Make sure you are prepared as some of the questions are looking for specific stories and not just what would you do but what did you do to get the results. Also be ready to explain your background.

How do you work with others who think differently?
First had phone interview. Progressed to on-site interview which was initially conducted simultaneously with another candidate. Walked the floor of the distribution center and interacted with Target employees. Then had two separate interviews which were both were one-on-one.
