have a good pen with you in case you need to fill out any forms.
have a nice looking resume ready to present that will have all your references and the related information ready for your potential employer.
be yourself - let them see who the "really you is."
lot's of good luck. "Break a leg" as they say in the theatre.
eM.
Be prepared to answer common questions like "why did you leave your last job?" and "Tell me about yourself". If you were terminated from your last job, say something like, "it was a mutual decision between mangement and myself, that I move on to a different company, due to the fact that we could not see eye to eye".
When they ask you the tell me about yourself question, they don't want a complete biography..they just want to know about your past jobs, strengths, and goals for the future.
Hope this helps!

OK, best of luck with your interview.
Like NineofClubs said, "all work is noble."
My first job, at age 16, was for Star Markets, a Rochester grocery chain, which is now history. Because I was a "stocky" high schooler, they wanted to hire me with the purpose of being a 'bag boy." A bag boy' s job was to bag groceries into the paper sacks as the cashiers finished entering them into the cash register. Then the heavy sacks were moved into carts if a customer wished to carry them out themselves, or placed into the fiberglass plastic totes to go down the conveyor belt to the pick up area, where people would drive up, and another bag boy would load them into the car for you.
Bag boys were paid minimum wage, $3.10 per hour. I hated being the outdoor bag boy in the summer heat. I was sweating like crazy, and constantly inhaling car exhaust. My muscles ached worse than when I over exerted myself in gym class. And when I was inside, I watched how some of the cashiers were really inept, rude to customers, and couldn't even count change back (hehehe, they STILL can't!). I knew that I could do a better job.
Luckily, my store manager was a reasonable guy. I requested that he enroll me in cashier training, and, because he was always short handed, he did. I spent a week at Star's main office, being trained on the NCR cash registers (remember this was 1979, scanning technology was in very few stores at that time). I remained a cashier for them for several years, as I started college. The pay was the same, but the working conditions were a bit better. During my last year there, we finally got scanners. But then Star was sold to Peter J. Schmidt Co. of Buffalo, and they sytematically closed stores, or converted them to either Bells or Apple's. Bells was their full service format, and Apple's was a "no frills" format. My store was slated to become an Apple's. But I left because I needed more study time for college.
Anyway, what I want to say is that there is no shame in working hard for limited money. What counts is what you do with your earnings. Target is a clean place to work. Like most retail establishments, things are not perfect, but there a lot of other places where you could be working for less money and in poor conditions. Best wishes for a successful interview.....

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.

THank you everyone for the advice amazing advice. Yes thursday at 11am is the interview. Our target is hiring for 7 positions i know its cashier overnight stocking and i think the little restuant they have in there. The target here is not even 6 months old. Im pretty much looking for a position that no one is going to do like Overnight stocking or Cart pusher. Cashier is very popular. I know people who work at target and they said they never had problems with the store. I got the rejection letter from target along long time ago hopefully i wont get it again. Places just need to tell people flat out no i wont hire you instead of them giving us a run around
Walmart is rude i apply there a few months back and the people there are rude. I wanted to call the headquarters up and report them But i would still shop there becuse they are so so cheap. Im hoping they will rebuild it and clean out the bad people
Kolhs the manager is somehow always busy they been hiring for ages because they had to fire over 10 people for stealing.
Im pretty much a job applying application whore i heard pretty much every excuse in the book from jobs. And almost promosed jobs and it failed
