I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Jacksonville, FL) in Nov 2009
Interview
Very long process. Got called by my school for an interview for a position in florida, no city or store or wage specified., after giving my resume at a job fair. Interview was 30 minutes, had mine with an ETL from local store. Went well, told me I'd hear back either way. About a week later I got an e-mail telling me to take a skills test. It was very difficult and you can't use calculator. I really didnt use one. After that I got a e-mail a week later saying to fill out my application before my interview. A week after that i got a call from a recruiter saying that I have an interview with the district team leader two weeks from then. Went to the interview, turned out to be an interview with the District team leader and a store manager. Another girl from my school got the same interview with the same people the same day. Told me I would hear back from them either way. Got my rejection e-mail 4 days later. So did the girl, she didn't know anyone who got the job. Target is very picky on who they hire. It was a long wait. My advice: Just be prepared for all situational questions. Thats all it was.
Got the interview from a career fair. Met with one person who handled hiring and had a great conversation and had one other phone interview. Asked me relevant questions and I was excited about the role

It was a two step interview process. Personable and you are able to interview with not only your direct managers but theirs as well. Provides transparency into your new team. My interview was virtual because I was moving to the area, but I'm sure they do in person for local folks.
