Ah, thanks! So first I did a Google search for Target Stores, and
checked whether their Web pages worked from here:

store locator - works fine, showed store 2 blocks from here, and
store several miles from here, and I stopped looking at that point
because I was satisfied.

Welcome to Target <http://www.target.com/> - looks ok, although
I had nothing specific to do there so I didn't test it fully.

http://target.com/careers/ - Completely broken. All I see is:

So Target is just as bad as Toys {backR} Us in this regard, but at
least they are aware of the problem already, and users can see
immediately what the problem is without needing to look at the HTML
source themselves.

Next I looked at the article you showed me, and traced some links:

Indeed, they seem to be doing that right!

Aha, one of the three legal firms that filed the class-action
lawsuit against Target is in Berkeley, so I am going to send them
e-mail shortly ... done. Which reminds me: I can't remember the URL
from that card that Bonny gave me that advertised the Web site for
applying for employment, and I can't find it via Google either. It
was something like trucareer.com, but that's not right, and I can't
guess the exact site name. I guess I'll have to ask Bonny to find
it again just so I can complain properly.
