Retail Sales Representative at Sears
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Bloomington, MN Mar 2009 – Reviewed Mar 25, 2013
Interview Details – Standard hiring and interview process: submit resume, get told to fill out application anyway. Interview directly with HR (with store tour). You will constantly be informed that this is an old company, with staunch values - but they did begin limited diversity training (around ethnicity, primarily) shortly after I left. Oral interview, and that was it. I was hired.
Interview Question – There were no difficult questions - everyone asks why this company would be a good fit. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – There was no negotiation. I was simply informed of my commission structure and base rate.

Declined Offer – Interviewed in Johnson City, TN Oct 2011 – Reviewed Oct 11, 2011
Interview Details – Talked with HR manager for a while and answered some questions about myself and my experience in the workplace. Typical questions about your strengths, weaknesses, and customer service interactions. I was then interviewed by the Asst store manager and after getting to know me a little better she offered me a job. Both were very nice, easily approachable, and very respectful. Don't wear a suit to one of these interviews though, you will be overdressed for sure. Slacks and a button shirt with tie will work just fine. Overall, it seemed like a good place to work and I got a good vibe from the people in management.

Reason for Declining – It was for a part-time position, and I was under the impression it was full-time. I explained this to the Asst Store Manager the next day, and she encouraged me to apply for management positions in her store and another nearby. I guess she really liked me!
