Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Sears (Hoffman Estates, IL) in Dec 2012
Interview
It was easy they didn't ask anything hard and the people interviewing had no idea what they were talking about anyone. They were very generic in all the questions they asked, I remember thinking that this is actually comical, I would later find out that the ignorant person that question me would actually be my supervisor. It's a very sad environment and unless you're interviewed by Eddie Lampert or a EVP you won't be doing one bit of good.

Question 1
Tell me a time, when you blah blah...very generic questions
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Sears (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2014
Interview
Multiple interviews one after the other. Be prepared to answer lots of different questions. Some interviewers were very stern and asked specific skill-based questions. Some interviewers just wanted to get to know you. Some gave you the idea that they were looking for something or some type in particular; others didn't seem to care. Very nice people overall.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Sears (Toronto, ON)
Interview
HR phone interview to start, then interview with hiring manager and finally their manager. More intense for Senior positions (AVP AND higher) where you need to interview with at least sSenior execs in addition

Question 1
Nothing really unexpected in my interview - but of those questions a difficult one for me to answer was "what is your leadership style?"
