![]() Instead of heating up the conflict, you carefully listened to the other person, and tried to helped them–in whatever way fitting for the situation. The key is to say that you focused on the solution of the problem, and did not let your emotions take over. An important tip at the beginning: if this is your first job application, you can talk about a situation from school, one when you had to deal with an upset or angry classmate, teacher, etc. The first one is a typical “difficult customer question”. That means describing how you handled a certain situation, a situation you may realistically face in your job at one of the Target stores. Describe the situation, your actions, and the outcome.Īfter the first icebreaker question, you will deal mostly with behavioral/situational questions. Tell me about a time you were able to keep a friendly demeanor with someone who was upset or angry. The key is to start your HireVue interview on a positive note, and convince them that you really want to work for Target, and do not apply with them just because you need any job. You should also say one or two positive things about Target as a brand–perhaps you like the way their stores are organized, their pricing policy, your family shops at Target for years, etc. Just generally describe who you are, your education, what you’ve done so far for a living (any retail experience is a plus but not a must), and most importantly explain why you want to work for Target, and how the job fits your life (and/or career goals). If they get a bad impression, many hiring managers will close the interview and won’t even watch your other answers. Basically they try to get a basic grasp of your personality and intentions. What they observe with your first answer is your overall demeanor, communication skills, level of enthusiasm, etc. Remember that they do not care that much about your background. The icebreaker question, and the easiest one from the virtual interview with Target. Tell me about your background, relevant work experience, and why you are interested in this position. Positions in Target Stores include guest service and product handling duties as essential functions of the job.Describe the situation, your actions, and the outcome. Tell me about a time you had to work with someone else to achieve a goal with multiple tasks, while you were under a tight deadline.Tell me about a time you were able to understand someone else’s viewpoint that differed from your own.Tell me about a time you tried to sell a customer, teammate, or someone else on an idea, product, or service. ![]() Tell me about a time you were able to keep a friendly demeanor with someone who was upset or angry.Tell me about your background, relevant work experience, and why you are interested in this position.Hence I will now share with you the six questions you will have to deal with during the HireVue interview with Target (as of late 2022, they haven’t updated the questions in the last two years, and I wonder if they ever will–certainly they should do so, but things do not change easily with big corporations), and give you some advice on how to deal with each one. I personally see many drawbacks to this form of hiring new staff, but you are not here to read my opinion on recorded interviews :). Target opted for for the last one, and nowadays when trying to get a job with them, you’ll have to pass their virtual interview, typically answering 6 questions. And they employed various tools and solutions, ranging from simple Skype and Zoom interviews, through custom-made solutions like Chime from Amazon, to utilizing powerful hiring platforms like HireVue. The recent virus pandemics have changed everything, or perhaps it just helped the companies realize the advantages of video (virtual, recorded) interviews as a part of the hiring process. Gone are the days when you traveled to a store and talked to a manager at Target, made a good impression, and got hired on a spot. ![]()
