It went fantastic! Online interview process was painless, and helps if you're feeling nervous in-person. Since I did good, I went for an in-person interview. Highly recommend applying- target cares for it's employees
2-step interview. Super easy to get through as long as you have a positive attitude and honesty. Management are looking for true personalities and usually can tell when a demeanor is being faked.
