I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Sears in May 2015
Interview
I applied online and was called in for an interview 2 days later. I missed the call and tried calling back multiple times but could never get a hold of anyone. Luckily they told me the day and time they wanted me to come in in the message. I showed up 20 minutes before the time I was suppose to and ended up waiting an extra half hour after the interview was suppose to start. It was a group interview with about 10 other people. The interviewer talked about the job and asked 2 questions, but only had one person answer them. The whole process lasted 5 minutes. We were told we were never told when we would receive a call back and didn't allow us to ask any questions at the end. A week later I received an email saying they didn't want me for the position.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Name a time in work you helped a customer when they didn't deserve it.
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

2. Phone/Video Interview: A lot of places do an initial screening over the phone or via video call. They’ll ask about your background, why you're interested in the job, and how your skills fit the role. It’s usually a casual chat, but make sure to prepare by knowing the company and job description.
3. In-Person Interview: If you pass the initial screening
