I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Sears (Indiana, PA) in Jun 2016
Interview
Was called and invited to interview. It was a brisk 20-30 minutes. The following day met with the department lead for a tour of the backroom. Both the interviewers were very friendly and amicable, however I did not get a good impression of Sears company as a whole. They looked very understaffed and the general atmosphere was very depressing. At the end, the offer was for minimum wage, extremely variable hours ranging from 15-20 hours per week. Even if I was accepted for this position, I would have declined after the experience. Company DID NOT send any kind of email or notification informing that I wasn't selected for the job, I had to check my application status online to figure that out.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sears
Interview
I applied online and received an email one week later for an interview. Waited in their office for a while and got interviewed by my would-be boss. I was the only one there which surprised me because as I would find out later, the backroom was understaffed even with me being hired.
short, asked a few simple questions but overall was a great learning experience. They required employee to be able to lift a certain amount of weight (about 50 pounds). The position was for part time work
Easy, got called in and asked some questions and was shown around and introduced to other workers and what I would be doing. Everyone was friendly and it was a quick interview.
