I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Sears in Aug 2016
Interview
The interview process was the simplest I have ever been on. They kept asking if I had any questions and after answering their one question, I was hired on the spot. Here is the problem - after the interview, I was told they would send me an offer email. When I got home, I received a call stating they no longer had the cashier position available and offered my an apparel associate position (which is not what I wanted). I was told I had to re-apply but no interview required. The next day, I received an email congratulating me on my new position as a cashier! Very confusing. I wrote back asking for clarification. I then received a call again stating that the cashier position isn't available and I should go to their website to apply for the apparel associate. I politely declined.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The only question they asked at all was "Have you ever worked in retail before?" We also discussed my availability.
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
The interview process can vary depending on the company and position, but here’s a general idea of what to expect:
1. Application Review: After applying, they’ll review your resume. If they’re interested, you’ll get a call or email to set up an interview.
2. Phone/Video Interview: A lot of places do an initial screening over the phone or via video call. They’ll ask about your background, why you're interested in the job, and how your skills fit the role. It’s usually a casual chat, but make sure to prepare by knowing the company and job description.
3. In-Person Interview: If you pass the initial screening
Fill application form to apply and wait few days before submitting it to the company. Had to provide personal documents and references from previous employers. Initially was interviewed on a phone.
