I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Sears (Virginia Beach, VA) in Sep 2015
Interview
The process was smooth. The interviewer was friendly and mainly asked questions about my personality and character. When I arrived I only waited for about 5 minutes and was then brought into the administrative office. The interview was there and probably lasted no more than fifteen minutes. I met about three different office personnel at that time.

Question 1
How are some of the ways you would assist customers?
Straight forward, they had me fill out questions on a computer. It then was a group interview, it would have been nice to have a one on one so it was a bit awkward.
