Sears Sales Associate Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – They used a STAR format. It was very casual and very easy. As long as you act professional you should be fine, just be yourself. You know about jobs these days you gotta shine bright like a diamond.

Reason for Declining – I got a job as a server.

Interview Details – If you even get an interview, you pretty much have the job

Negotiation Details – Basic questions, if you get here you get the job

Interview Details – Very basic questions. This was my first "real" interview, so I was nervous, but was able to answer every question somewhat coherently. During the first two interviews, there were really no "unexpected" questions. They were mostly basic customer service experience questions, designed to sort through those who will not be good with customers.

Interview Details – It was great! Easy Interview questions. Super Basic. I was hired on the spot! What a blessing :-)

Interview Details – I filled out an on-line application which included a personality test. My first interview occured approximately three weeks later. The first interview was about an hour long. The questions werer the standard fair and none of them really caught me off guard. The second interview was extended about two or three hours more than need be due to the manger attending to various problems on the floor,

Reason for Declining – I recieve another job opportunity.

Interview Details – I applied online after I saw the "now hiring" sign. They sent me an e-mail in a couple of days, and scheduled an interview for me, but I didn't see the e-mail, so I missed it. I called back and scheduled another interview, they were pretty good about this, they didn't get mad or anything. I went in at the scheduled time, almost missed the office, it was hidden in the exercise department, and waited for them to call me in. They did, the Asst. Manager was very nice and understanding, he told me about the process, what the job would be like and all of the pay and benefits info. The interview was easy enough, just your standard q&A, he just had to fill out a form. He said that he would tell the Manager to do the second interview, which meant I would be called in AGAIN, to be interviewed by the full manager. I never got called back or e-mailed back.

Interview Details – Interview was easy, asked basic questions that could easily be answered on the spot. It was my first interview ever and I did fine.

Negotiation Details – Had none because I did not know any better, but I think I could have.

Interview Details – This was, without a doubt, the most horifying job interview I ever could have imagined. I showed up on time; I was told that the manager holding my interview, Manny Cordoba, would be with me in a few minutes. About fifteen minutes later he showed up with several other employees, saw that I was there, and then proceeded to hold a ten minute meeting, making me wait. I would have left and not returned if I had known it was him.

When I finally got in, I was shut in a small room with him. He intimidated me into agreeing to work earlier and later. He was not friendly at all and very cold. Several times he made me feel very unintelligent. As it was an interview, I was prepared to answer questions about myself, but was shocked when he started rambling about comission sales, how employees are required to have have a 30% sales rate on Sears cards, and other absurd store ideals that are certainly contributing to the demise of the franchise.

Overall, he was a highly unpleasant individual, and I recall wondering at the time how on Earth he had weasled his way into a management position with this attitude. When he finished his interview, he told me that I had to do two more interviews, and that my second interview would follow the first.

The woman that interviewed me next was friendly and warm, a stark contrast from that neanderthal of a man that had interoggated me. Unfotunately, he'd put a sour taste in my mouth, and I wanted nothing to do with the company. I was scheduled for a third interview the next day even though I showed that I was not interested. I cancelled the next day, and thanked the good lord above for letting me dodge a bullet.

Reason for Declining – The management was clearly cold, arrogant, and snide.

Interview Details – After completing the online application and assesment, a list of interview times came up, I selected my interview time and it was scheduled. I met with one woman, was never told her position and she asked some questions from a form and she spoke about several different positions available. She then had me meet with a department manager who asked some questions and then took me on a tour of the store. We went back to the office and the first woman asked for my license and SS card for my I9 and then she had me complete some forms on the computer, including an automatic deposit form. She scheduled a drug test and told me they were running a criminal background check. I asked if I was hired and she said yes. I then asked what the pay would be and she said $7.25. I did not accept the job.

Reason for Declining – $7.25 an hour
