      Mary Esther, FL

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Sears (Mary Esther, FL) in May 2012

      Interview

      The interview was directed by the LP Manager, and was a series of questions about past work experience and the standard "tell me about a time that you..." queries.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The most unexpected questions that I got during my interview was when the "supervisor" began to ask me about my law enforcement background. He wasn't asking for interview purposes, he was trying to leave Sears and was asking for my advice on how he could best get into the police field.

      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.

      Question 1

      Why do you want to be a loss prevention associate? How would you handle theft? Are you comfortable working in this type of position?

      Average interview

      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.
