Target Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details I got a call from HR at one fine evening. She told me about the company and asked my roles and responsibility. After 2 days, interview was scheduled. All went well but HR told that they were expecting more. It was pure technical Round.

Interview Details The Interview has 2 rounds. 1.Job Oriented 2.Personality Based

Negotiation Details – Not much .

Interview Details questions on my project n about basics in most of the subjects that i had studied. Questions like what is Rdbms, oops etc..

Interview Details So as every one mentioned, the typical process at target is 3 interviews. If you don't make it to the third interview then you are most likely not going to get the job! I had my interview at a Target job fair so there was plenty of people buzzing around.

Interview #1 they asked a little about my past work experiences and the following questions:
1. Why would do you want to work for Target?
2. Describe a time you have exceeded expectations.
3. What would one of your ex-employers say is one of your strengths?
4. Describe a time you have made a mistake and what did you do about it.

Interview #2, a few of the questions were repeated from interview #1 and they added on the following:
1. An item rings through on the computer as $19.99, but the customer swears up and down that it's $17.99, what do you do?
2. A woman wants to buy a pair of shoes for her son, they have to be spider-man and they have to be in size 2 but none are there; what do you do? How do you think she feels about it?
3. A woman is walking around confused; what do you do? Let's say she is looking for a camera; what do you do?

Interview #3, I was asked to talk a little about myself and if I had any questions.

Not sure if I got the job or not because they said they will reply in a few days. Hoping I will since I got to interview #3 at least!

Interview Details I filled out an application online and was contacted 2 days later to schedule an interview at the store. My availability was confirmed over the phone, but that was all I was asked... I never had an actual phone interview. My interview was scheduled for a Wednesday, exactly one week after I had turned in my application. They set me up at one of the job kiosks to do an assessment. The assessment consisted of some scenario based questions asking how I would react in certain situations, as well as a few questions to test my skills for basic math. It was very easy. I was first interviewed by a team leader. He asked me some general questions about myself as well as some questions about situations I'd been in and how I had handled them. The questions were fairly simple, but you will be asked to provide specific examples, and they are looking for details! He then set me up to watch a video about Target that was several minutes long. You'll need to pay attention because the next person you interview with will ask questions that relate to the video. Next, I was interviewed by an individual who who had more authority than the team leader. He asked me 1 or two more situation questions (basically the same thing the team leader had covered but worded differently) and several questions about my personality and experience. He asked if I had any questions. I asked if he could tell me more about the machines that are used in the backroom of the store and he then took me back to show me what the back room was like and how things functioned. He then told me that if everything sounded good to me then he'd like to offer me the position. He led me to an HR person who explained that I needed to take a drug test within 24 hours and that It would take about a week. She said they would be contacting me for orientation once they got the results.

Negotiation Details – There wasnt a negotiation. The fist person I interviewed with asked me what my expectations for pay were. I said around $8.00 or so an hour knowing that they start you around there. He said good because they usually start people off between $8-$8.50 an hour. The second person I interviewed with offered me $8.50 an hour and that was it. There is also a $1 shift difference pay as I will be coming in at 4am. The shift difference pay lasts from 4am until 8am, at which time the pay will drop back down to $8.50 an hour.

Interview Details 2 interviews by two ETLS. Drug test within 24 hours, started orientation the next week. I was cross-trained in Food Avenue, with the promise that it was temporary. I did not want to work there permanently. Stuck there for a year.

Negotiation Details – Not really able to negotiate. I was desperate for a job so I just took it. Minimum wage was how they started off with most everyone. Noticed that those that were super handsome of pretty got paid more. My Team Lead had no management experience prior, practically straight out of high school, and barely had a month of retail experience.

Interview Details I applied 2 weeks before receiving a phone call from the hiring department. They scheduled a phone interview for the following day. It was mostly about my hours available and different sanarios. I later got a call about a week later calling me in for an interview at the store. I went and met with someone in the HR department and then the manager. I was hired on the spot

Negotiation Details – They said $8 was the starting out salary but I talked them up to $8.20

Interview Details Straightforward. Asked about experience in customer service, whether I'd worked in retail before.

Negotiation Details – There was none, it was a job.

Interview Details First I had a phone interview. Very basic retail questions. Scheduled the first in person interview right over the phone. Did really well. But for reasons unknown to me I get an email at 2am saying "sorry but we have no position to offer you."
