I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Sears in Sep 2011
Interview
After I applied online, I received a phone call from the supervisor of Fine Jewelry three days after. The lady asked me if I would like to work for the Fine Jewelry department and if I was able to work on the week-ends. After I answered her yes, we set up an interview two days later.
So, I sat there waiting for my interviewer to meet me in the HR, but I somehow managed to talked to another supervisor instead because she was busy with another person who came later than I did. Anyways, the interview went by real quick. The lady was very lax, easygoing and somewhat easy to amuse. I told her why I wanted to work for Sears and some of my volunteering experience. Later, she went outside and came back with paperwork and asked me if I wanted the job.
Took like 20 mins. Very easy but questions seemed random. It also seemed like management had no idea they had interviews scheduled cuz there were several of us waiting for a long time
The interview process can vary depending on the company and position, but here’s a general idea of what to expect:
1. Application Review: After applying, they’ll review your resume. If they’re interested, you’ll get a call or email to set up an interview.
2. Phone/Video Interview: A lot of places do an initial screening over the phone or via video call. They’ll ask about your background, why you're interested in the job, and how your skills fit the role. It’s usually a casual chat, but make sure to prepare by knowing the company and job description.
3. In-Person Interview: If you pass the initial screening
Fill application form to apply and wait few days before submitting it to the company. Had to provide personal documents and references from previous employers. Initially was interviewed on a phone.
