      Backroom Interview

      17 May 2012
      Anonymous employee
      San Diego, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Target (San Diego, CA) in May 2012

      Interview

      I applied about (5/1/12) online, i was called on mothers day(5/13/12). Over the phone I was asked only two things, why do you want to work for target and about my availability. Afterwards she told me that they would like to schedule me in for an interview on Wednesday at 10:15 pm since it was for an overnight position. (5/16/12) i came in at around 9:45 and was sat down with about 9 other applicants.then we were called into a room where they gave us some packets of questions (15 questions) to answer, it is basically to see if you're competent. the interview was fairly standard, tell me of a time you had to do something and what did i do type of questions.the people i interviewed with were both kind and made me feel comfortable. then i had another interview with a different person, similar questions. I guess it's to get another persons perspective on you. after she finished she started taking about how they had a different position available, i said i was fine with it, talked about my availability, dress code. then she told me to come in the next morning to fill out some hiring papers. I came in did that, then afterwards i had to go take a drug test. then after they got the results they called me to give me an orientation date and boom i was working for target.

      Applied online then called in to the store I applied too. Talked to a manager that scheduled my interview a week and a half later. Went to the store and had to do an in store questionnaire. Then had my first 1:1 interview with a manager with 5 questions. Then went to a separate room to watch a video on the position and what target is about. Then had an interview with the backroom position manager.
