Process

A campus recruiter reached out to me via Piazza Careers (I hadn't applied or even considered Target yet). We played email tag for a while until we could find a mutual time to call.

She was very helpful and friendly, and was able to arrange a phone interview for me before my other deadlines, which were about a week and a half away.

The interview process involved one easy, 30-minute behavioral phone interview. The interviewer was not very impressive. He mentioned that I did not have to prove my programming skills to him because he had already looked at a specific one of my projects on GitHub. However, I had actually used a private BitBucket repo for that project, so he couldn't have seen it.

The recruiter gave me a date to save in case I was offered an on-site interview, but Target ended up not being able to invite me for an on-site visit after all (kinda sad; I was really looking forward to it).

A few days before my other offers expired, I reached out to the recruiter asking if I was going to hear back in time. She worked really hard to get me an offer within the next day, which I greatly appreciate.

It was a great offer, but I ended up not choosing it because, at the end of the day, I'd rather be at a tech company than a retail company.
