Inventory Analyst at Sears

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Hoffman Est, IL Feb 2011 – Reviewed Apr 17, 2011

Interview Details – Got flown out to Hoffman Estates with 13 other people from my university all interviewing for the same position. First had a group panel with managers then had two one on one interviews with managers which were behaviorally based. Then had a tour of the HQ, and lunch followed by the group activity which was in a room with two managers watching how we interacted. All the managers seemed excited to meet us. The HQ is great and has lots of amenities, also there is a casual dress code which is nice.

Interview Question – They wanted to know how well I knew excel and basically just needed to hear I knew how to do IF statements   Answer Question

Inventory Analyst at Sears

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Hoffman Estates, IL Dec 2007 – Reviewed Apr 2, 2009

Interview Details – I had applied online for months but had no callbacks until I met someone who worked there who referred me. I was then contacted by a recruiter who set up a phone interview with me. She was nice and approachable and gave me her cell number for any questions. I was then contacted by an Analyst at the corp. who interviewed me over the phone. It was dfficult to gauge his responses, and he really seemed disinterested so I didn't think I'd get called in for the in person interview. Thankfully, about a wek later, I did. The headquarters were really impressive and I knew upon walkig in that I'd be lucky to work there. A group of interviewees were picked up in front by some kind of tour guide who took us into another room and described the process, the job and the day we were beginning which would consist of 2 panel interviews and a personality/math test. Both interviews were very informal - why did I want to work there and what could I bring to the position types of questions. Very approachable people. The test was challengin, but not impossible. I left feeling great about the company and 2 days later, got an offer.

Interview Question – Describe a time you overcame a big problem in the workplace.   Answer Question
