Sears Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Interview questions were based solely on selling skills so they could figure out how well you would be able to strong arm customers into signing up for their credit card. Was told you must meet a certain number of credit apps per 1000 in sales or you would cease getting hours.

Interview Details – Applied online, interview was really weird. Interviewer showed up late, was disorganized. I didn't receive an offer which was good because after the interview I realized I really did not want to work there.

Interview Details – I applied for the cashier position online and was contacted a week later to schedule an interview. The interview was very laid back and lasted about thirty minutes, and mostly consisted of a basic overview of what would be expected of me if I got the job. She also asked me a few very specific questions about previous customer service experience, even though she had my application right in front of her and could clearly see that I have never worked a customer service job before. She told me she would call within the week to schedule another interview, but never did.

Interview Details – Very unprofessional interview, the manager basically gave me a survey then left the room, didn't ask a single question about previous work or anything . He payed little attention when I spoke to him, just nodded as he stared at the computer.

Interview Details – Recruiter mails me and schedules a first 'fit' phone interview.
He schedules the next two (phone) interviews during this first round itself- One with the hiring manager and the next one with a VP.
Mostly resume based questions and little behavioral.
Scheduled next round, on-site, in Chicago, after 1 week.
Had total 5 interviews, back-to-back, from morning to evening.

Interview Details – Hiring process is crazy. They will hire anyone who can breath

Interview Details – Was scheduled to come in for an interview, got the job. However, orientation the following day consisted of me filling out tax information and then going home. What alarmed me was, I wasn't even told what job I had, as I had filled out an application for all open positions and was never formally trained.

Interview Details – I applied online and was contacted for a phone interview a few days later. The phone interview went well and I was offered the opportunity to fly to Hoffman Estates for the in-person interview. We also had to complete a store visit and answer a few questions prior to the interview. There was a 2:1 HR and 2:1 Buyer Interview, retail math test, and case study. The process took 4 hours and went by fairly fast. We were also given a 30 minute tour of the facilities. The Case Study was by far the most awkward experience. They give you a department and you have to argue why you feel your department should receive funding. Meanwhile, all the people that you met with sit in a room and watch you debate and listen to other interviewees. They told us we would hear back within two weeks. I heard back within 3 days that I did not get the position. Which I was ok with. Sears is not doing well so job security was a major concern of mine. It is a great interview because if you can get through this you are more than ready for any other buying opportunities.

Interview Details – They asked a lot of "what happends if..." and "what would you do if..." questions. If you have no work experiance, this WILL BE a hard interview. It may seem like I am exagerating, but its all truth.
