      May 30, 2012
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Sears in Feb 2008

      Interview

      the one on one interview was basically standard. in depth questions were asked in reference to LP experience and knowledge. Was a very easy interview compared to others that i have been through. It is fairly easy to be hired with the company if you have a strong resume and experience to back you.

      Negative experience

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Sears (Peabody, MA) in May 2017

      Interview

      Applied online and let me just give you the short answer waste of time. I was contacted to come in for a face to face interview. The interview took place in a small room and there were two people in it, a guy and a female. The female that was conducting the interview was really nice. The guy however just made the whole interview uncomfortable. I left with a bad impression of sears.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Sears (Nanuet, NY)

      Interview

      Ridiculously long the guy didnt see me until an hour later smh anyways the guy told me they were specifically looking for a female since theres already 5 guys which i didnt like at all and the only reason why there lookin for a female is so they can go into the ladies fitting room like hello isnt that what cashiers do ? I worked in retail and while i was a cashier i checked the fitting room regularly after that it just got awkward because i had a job and i only gave him certain days i could work guess he wanted someone more flexible idk lol and btw its 10 per hr if anyones curious.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Sears (Spokane, WA) in Jun 2016

      Interview

      Met with the interviewing team of two for about 1.5 hours. It became clear that they did not have much latitude in formulating questions, or developing a custom conversation about the position. They produced a multi-page (four I believe) questionnaire containing standardized questions to be posed to all Sears applicants regardless of the position to which applying.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The questions were creative and complex. One, for instance, asked the interviewee to explain a time when he/she conducted detailed analysis of a situation/problem, presented findings to a decision maker, and the presentation influenced some form of change.
