I am currently employed with a good job in the private sector, but stressful at times. I decided to post my resume on Monster.Com. I was not even seeking Target and did not know that they had an ETL position available until a Target recruiter contacted me by e-mail. Keep in mind that I had already posted my resume. I am an extremely busy person, I see and have 300 clients/meetings a month and I am in Court constantly. Wednesday comes- My first telephone interview: I get off work early and have someone else to cover my meetings for two hours. First, my recruiter that I initially talked to 'was out' and they had a substitute. Second off, the alternative interviewer, obviously did not read my resume prior to calling me because I had to correct her what my current position and employer was.She asked the wrong question and I had to correct her! Third, This interviewer was interviewing me from a different state (Minneapolis), and she had no clue about the location of the place that I was interviewing for (Georgia). I understand that there is a process for hiring, but at least know the area....so that you can understand what the interviewee is talking about. The interview consisted of numerous questions. Cannot remember them all: 1) What would your Employer say was your weakness? - I told them, that my employer would say that I work too much. The interviewer stated "anything else". I told her no. If she would have called my references, she would know that was the truth. LOL 2) Have you ever made a mistake and did you correct it? 3) How did you handle work conflict? Least to say, after a 30 minute conversation...I get an email two days later stating that I was not considered for phase two of the interview process. My advice to Target: Read over the person's resume prior to calling them for an interview. Don't waste someone else's time when they are way qualified, if not over-qualified for the position (graduate level) and that person does not even pass phase one of the interview process- especially if that person did not even seek you first.

Got the interview from a career fair. Met with one person who handled hiring and had a great conversation and had one other phone interview. Asked me relevant questions and I was excited about the role
