I have an Interview at Target
this will be my FIRST job interview!
i'm a nervous wreck
I want to be prepared with what they might ask?
I need advice, Help!
Thank You For The Job Interview - Are You Sending a Follow Up Letter?
Recommended Answer:I work at Target. Dress nice, like if you were going to church. Having a resume is nice, but not needed. I didn't have one.
They want to know how you can make target a better place, and sometimes they ask if you have experience doing certain situations.
Example, have you and other been assigned a task where you have to have it completed by a certain time? Have you deal with customers in a retail environment? You comfortable communicating with customers?
I was nervous when I went for my interview but it was not bad, only lasted an hour.
One thing you need to be prepared for is, you do 2 interviews back to back.
One manager interviews you for like 15mins, then you wait a bit then another manager interviews you for 15mins. If they like you, right after the second interview they will give you a conditional job offer saying how much you will make. All you have to do after is take a drug test within 24 hours from the interview ending time. Drug test is easy, you pee in a cup and within a couple of days if you are clean, they call you for orientation.
Orientation is easy, you and some others go in a room and watch videos for like 3 hours about policies, certain situations, rules, and how to do your job. Then they give you paperwork to fill out then you get a tour of the store. You also get paid for the orientation, which lasts about 4 hours.
During your orientation you will get your training schedule for the next 2 weeks. Your hours will be limited, but after 2 weeks you will be getting a normal schedule with normal hours and carrying on with your job. Example, for my first 2 weeks I only worked 18 hours, which got me a $130 paycheck. Then after I started doing 20 hours a week and I get around $270 every 2 weeks. Around holiday time, expect to work 25+ hours as they need the help, so you will get a nice fat paycheck.
Enjoy, target is a great place to work at. I am a cashier and I love it.

- Relax... deep breath now...
Interviews are not as bad as you may be thinking. Don't forget you are not just going to see if a company wants YOU, you are going to see if the company is good enough for YOU! Try and look at it that way and it makes things slightly easier.
Just turn up a few minutes early, dress smartly, be clean and tidy and have a smile on you at all times!
Try and find out a little bit about the company before you go and try and have a couple of questions ready for them. I don't mean like 'what holiday do i get' or anything like that, ask them about the company, e.g. how long have they been going, are they looking to progress into any other service or product etc... Just appear keen. Thank them at the end of the interview for their time in considering you for the post.
Just give honest and simple answers to their questions, they WILL know and expect you to be nervous so this will not go against you. Most of all, best of luck ;-)
- I work for Target. You need to dress nice and speak up. This is a very friendly company so show that side of yourself. Use your manners yes ma'am no sir. Don't forget that in an interview you are selling yourself. They did not ask any hard questions just things like "Why should we hire you?" and "How will you make Target a better place for other team members and guests?" (team members are employees and guests are shoppers) Good luck!!
- You need to dress appropriately, preferably in a skirt with a nice top, no tatoos/piercings, little jewelry or perfume............the questions will pertain to the position you have applied for and will be like: have you worked in customer service before; how would you handle a certain situation, etc, etc. Be sure to send the interviewer a "thank you for the interview" email the next day
- have your resume with you with extra copys dress nice frist inpressins are every thing with in the first 20 to 30 sec there more likely to hire or not hire you. most of the time the will ask like: what are weekness and how you over come them. what do you know about our compney ( speend a few hours the day befor the interview and a few hour before you go for the job so you know the compny. show them that you really whant that job that is if the ask stuff like that). be there about 10 to 5 mins before you need to be there if you are nevice then take 10 to 15 debreathes to help you com down it only natrual for some one to be nervice for some thing like this. just answer the question to the best you can and dont make some thing up or it will hurt you in the end.
