I applied online. I interviewed at Sears (Oakville, ON) in Jan 2015
Interview
I applied online though email since the mall website said to email resumes. I got a call a few weeks later to come in for an interview. The day of the interview I am half an hour early so I fill out an application form since I know they ask you to fill one out. I came with a spare resume, and everything. I go in and shake hands with the interviewer, she was really nice. Starts asking behavioural questions and asked why I left my last job. I was completely honest and she was really understanding. The interview went really great and she fixed me up for another interview with the head manager. A day before my interview with the manager, there's a snow storm and that was the only time it suppose to snow all week. She said that they will have to postpone it since he couldn't make it in for the next day and that he will call me to reschedule when he's in next. It's been a month and I haven't heard anything since. Luckily I found a better job. I don't know why he never called, or why she had to lie. If they lie to you before you get the job, I can imagine what it's like working there. They must not be very honest.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
You are given about 2 minutes to look over the benefits of their credit card and sell one to the interviewer when they come back.
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
