I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Sears (Charlottesville, VA) in Jan 2011
Interview
Took me in a room in the back the size of an interrogation room. Asked me some questions then had me take this little quiz while she walked away and laughed and talked with someone. I had been done 15 mins before she came back in there. She then told me to come with her and she said she wanted me to go up to this man and try to get him to sign up for the shop your way rewards program after he politely declined, he said I did a great job and then I found out he was actually the assistant manager. She then had him talk to me for awhile then she came back in and told me that I had the job and took me in the office to take an assessment quiz and create my account. I spent a whole week doing assessments and computer training,
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
