The hiring process took about a month, and my start date was three weeks after I accepted the initial offer, so overall it took almost two months.

I contacted a recruiter on LinkedIn, and she got back to me a week later. We set up a phone interview to talk about the position. She liked my attitude and moved me forward through the process.

I had four other interviews: two with STLs, one with a DTL, and lastly, the HR Market Leader. If you make it to the HR Market Leader, you pretty much have the job.

The key is to have a fun and outgoing attitude. Don't be nervous at all; just be yourself.

Everyone was very funny and welcoming, which made the interviews easier to get through.

There were a lot of situational questions asked. They might even be repeated in a future interview; it's okay to repeat the answer. Start with the problem, how you handled it, and what the outcome was. It's also okay to have them repeat a question.

Be prepared to talk about your past experience and education. You also want to be able to tell them why you want to work for Target.

Why Target?

Tell me about yourself.

Tell me about a time you were over something and things didn't work out as planned.

A lot of "tell me about a time" questions.
