I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Sears (Houston, TX) in Mar 2012
Interview
Fairly easy and straight forward. I was asked about myself, typical questions of what were my strengths/weaknesses. And the rest of the interview was mainly to evaluate me as a sales representative, to see if I had enough social skills to hold my own on the floor. (Although there were many who didn't and still got the job). The lady interviewing me worked at the HR department and was very relaxed and nice. She then proceeded to give me options to work as a cashier or sales associate explaining that cashiers made more money by the hour but sales associates were eligible for omission, meaning if you sold a lot of stuff you would make way more than a cashier.
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
