I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Sears in Sep 2011
Interview
I came into the HR room five minutes early, which they didn't like. The woman interviewing me took a while to come in, but finally she sat me down in a room and asked me very simple questions. Every question I would sneak in some achievement of mine so by the end she was very excited about me. Next, a manager came in and interviewed me. His questions were so ridiculous, I couldn't believe they were part of the interview. He said that most people don't even get to him since the first interview woman is really strict with candidates. They seemed nice, I won't really be dealing them with work though.
They skipped the drug test for me and the background check, although it is mandatory.
The only pain was that I had to come in the next day and enter my bank account info and then I changed accounts the next weekend and now I have to wait two weeks until I can renter my bank info in the system, so I won't be getting paid for a while!
Interview questions [5]
Question 1
Describe when a time when you set two goals: how did you achieve them?
Took like 20 mins. Very easy but questions seemed random. It also seemed like management had no idea they had interviews scheduled cuz there were several of us waiting for a long time
