I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Sears (Rockford, IL) in Aug 2017
Interview
The interview process was semiformal and consisted of mostly behavioral type questions and open ended questions (" tell me about a time when..."). Great interview experience for a high schooler/ first job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you dealt with a difficult customer.
Easy interview, they asked basic soft skill questions and put an emphasis on selling credit cards. Originally only a seasonal position, but I did well enough that they hired me full time. There is a high turn over rate though.
Interview was extremely easy. Looking for someone for the holidays for a temporary position but was hired on due to high credit card sales. Interviewer asked basic situational questions and some behavioral questions as well.
Was asked to arrive at a given time. There were 10+ other people scheduled for that time. I was 2nd in line, so I stayed, otherwise I wouldn't have wasted my time.
