I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Sears (Bloomington, IN) in Nov 2010
Interview
On Saturday, I applied online for Sears to be a Cashier. After I was done applying, it told me online to set up a day for an interview and what time. I set my interview up for Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. However, to better prepare myself for an interview, I researched questions online that they would ask. I stumbled along GlassDoor & read the reviews. What happened to others happened to me! I called to make sure my interview was set up. They said the Manager wasn't even at work that day & to reschedule an interview for the following day... In my opinion, Sears is a scam & I do NOT suggest trying to get a job there. It's a giant waste of time.
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.
