I've worked retail for over ten years at a competitor. newboy12, thanks for the uplifting message, there are redeeming aspects of every job.
ok455, during my career, I had the opportunity to hire new employees. I would close out an application if the applicant did not look at least presentable. I would recommend, as others already noted, a pair of dress pants, a button down long sleeved shirt and tie. Remember you only get to make one first impression. I was looking for someone that I knew would be able to represent the company, the store, the department, and them each time they were working. If they didn't bother to show up to the interview appropriately dressed.
I would close out an application if it was difficult to get the applicant to talk. One of the most important aspects of customer service is interpersonal communication. The interviewer is looking for answers beyond a simple yes or no remark. Whenever possible, expand your answers to make sure they are complete.
I would close out an application if it appeared the applicant would become a liability. The interviewer is looking for someone that they can trust. Be ready to explain your periods of unemployment, your previous work history, your reason for leaving previous positions. Make sure that you are truthful in the application and the interview. I closed out several applications that had discrepancies between the application and the interview.
In my experience, the interview is set up that the applicant can only be asked questions structured from a list based on the results of the answers you provided on the application. It appears that the two companies, Target and the company which I work for, use similar formats for their applications. I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't a set of questions generated for the Target managers to use.
Be realistic about the expectations of the job. Someone who is willing to work the weekends and have an open availability will be selected more often than those who restrict their hours. Beware though, if you are going into the interview indicating that your availability is open and close it within the first month, it will reflect upon you. Be truthful about what you can work.
Ask questions about your position. Make sure it is something that you feel comfortable doing. It is frustrating to the manager to spend time and resources training someone to work in a position only for them to quit or transfer into a new department in a short time.
Be yourself, have a positive attitude, be energetic.
Oh and one from recent memory, I overheard an interview where a guy was hitting on the manager as she interviewed him. It was funny, it was tacky, and it earned him the first spot on the close out list.
