If you see a position you feel is a great fit for you and you know a current Target team member who can speak to your qualifications, they can refer you as a candidate for the role before you apply. Once they have completed their referral steps, you’ll receive an email with a link to the job description. For your referral to process, you must use the provided link and the same email address at which you received the email to create your candidate profile and apply for the role.

A resume or CV is not required to apply for positions, but highly encouraged. You may choose to upload documents, including: resumes, CVs, letters of recommendation, references and cover letters during the application process.

Target will make accommodations for requests on a case-by-case basis. Store and distribution center candidates should reach out to the specific store or distribution center directly to ask about assistance with the application process and other accommodation requests. All other candidates should work with your recruiter or contact Guest Relations at 1.800.440.0680.

Target relies largely on behavior-based interviewing for most roles. In this style of interview, the interviewer asks for specific examples of how you have performed or responded in a particular situation. Answers to behavior-based interview questions should follow a standard Situation Behavior Outcome format whereby you describe the past situation, the behavior you displayed to resolve the situation and the outcome caused by your behavior.

All Target job offers are contingent upon the successful completion of our pre-employment screening process, which includes a background check. The background check is initiated after you have accepted your conditional job offer and is managed by our vendor, CareerBuilder. If you have questions about the results of your background check, contact CareerBuilder directly at 855.581.0580.

In accordance with Target’s Drug Free Workplace (DFW) Policy, certain roles may require a mandatory drug screen as a condition of employment. If the role you’ve received an offer for requires a drug screen, you will be notified at the time of offer and be prompted with next steps during the screening process. The drug screen must be completed within 24 hours of accepting your job offer. Failure to complete a required drug screen in the allotted time may result in the withdrawal of your conditional offer of employment.

Drug screens are managed by our vendor, CareerBuilder, and completed at Target’s expense. You will complete your screening either at a testing location near you or on-site at your future work location. Be prepared to provide your government issued photo ID to confirm your identity when you arrive for a drug screen.

If you have questions about the results of your drug screen, contact CareerBuilder directly at 855.581.0580.

You should generally receive word when you are no longer in consideration for a role you applied to – either by email or directly from the recruiter. If for some reason you have not heard from us for several weeks about a role, we may have moved forward with other candidates for that role. You can check the status of your application by logging into your Candidate Home page. We encourage you to keep an eye out for future opportunities and apply again when a role matches your experience and interests. We’ll also keep your resume on file and reach out if we think you may be a good fit for additional roles.

If you were not selected for a particular role, you may always reapply to a similar or alternate role at any time. However, due to application system limitations, you may not be able to reapply to the same specific position for which you were previously not selected for up to one year after being turned down from the position. We do recommend that you apply only for those roles that align with your experience and interests.
