I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Sears (Mansfield, OH) in Oct 2011
Interview
HA hiring process? There was no hiring process. I applied for Sears on Tuesday October 4, 2011 and received a call from a lady named Brenda around 7:30 p.m. She asked if I would be willing to come in for an interview on Friday at 2:30. I said most definitely.
So Friday rolls around and I went to my interview. I arrived 10min early and went directly to the HR room. Once I got there I heard someone else being interviewed so I waited patiently until they were done. Once their interview was done I popped my head in the ladies office and said
"Hi, I'm so and so here for an interview."
The lady just looked at me like I was an idiot and said "Ok???"
I just stood there and then she said "Who are you interviewing with?"
I said "Brenda"
She goes "Ohhhh, well Brenda called off sick today and I have to go on lunch now because I haven't had lunch all day and I have other people coming in at 3:00 for interviews."
I was like "Ok?"
She says "You can just have a seat I'll find someone to interview you"
I could hear her page two different people "Hey I have someone here for an interview, would you want to interview them?"
Both people answered "Nope!"
So then she came back into the room I was in and said "Someone will be with you shortly." and she just walked out to go to lunch.
I sat there for another 5 min and then I just said forget it and I walked out. No one even came into the room to interview me.
WHAT A HORRIBLE IMPRESSION AND A HORRIBLE ENVIRONMENT TO WORK FOR! COMPLETE JOKE!!!
The interview process was alright. Not the worst interview process but also not the best interview process. I would go through the process again. I would recommend the interview process to others
I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Sears (Clay, NY)
Interview
It was my first job, and it was a fairly standard interview at the time. It was difficult, because the hiring manager was not there, despite having should been. I was told to check back for three days in a row, before the person that made me the offer just happened to be there and decided to conduct an interview after three days of checking back.
The interview process at Sears was simple and straightforward—just one interview with basic questions about availability, work experience, and customer service. I felt comfortable and got hired quickly. I started off as seasonal
