I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Sears (Barboursville, WV) in Jun 2009
Interview
Well I applied online and spent about 30 minutes taking a 'personailty assesment" and entering all my previous employer information. At the end, it offered me the ability to schedule my own interview. I scheduled it for a few days later. I received a confirmation email the same day. Searching onilne, I found some people had problems with this process so I called two days in advance to the exact store to confirm my interview. The current HR person said the salaried position had been filled the day before and if I was interested in an hourly/commissioned cashier position. What a waste of time applying! I feel Sears does not respect people's time or effort with this process. I would have wasted my day and nerves driving out there to interview to hear there wasn't even a position. Poor system.
