I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Target (Minneapolis, MN) in May 2014
Interview
Target has a standard interview process for all employees (internal and external). They are SBO (Situation, Behavior, Outcome). They ask a question like, "Tell me about a time you had to work through a challenging project. They are looking for a concise overview of what the situation was, action steps you directly took, and a brief summary of the outcome. Responses should be no more than a few minutes (very concise and action oriented).

Question 1
Questions like, "Tell me about a time when...," but you should always be prepared to have a really good concise answer for the following non-scripted questions they ask you:
1. Tell me about your self/background - people talk for far too long...should only be 2-3 minutes
2. Why are you interested in this job - think of more specifics than the generic, "Target is a really great company, etc."
I applied online. I interviewed at Target (Nashville, TN) in Jan 2026
Interview
It was great. I felt very comfortable. The questions were easy. They offered me coffee. I feel like I’m going to get the job with no problem. I highly recommend
Email phone call zoom meeting then a in person with the team. Mad it ver comfortable and at home. They want you to be honest and open about who you are and what you stand for
First, there was a HR phone screen and then I was scheduled to meet with the Hiring Manager and three other people for virtual interviews, totaling 4 rounds. I also had to submit a writing sample.
