      Apr 18, 2011
      Anonymous employee
      Hoffman Est, IL
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Sears (Hoffman Est, IL) in Feb 2011

      Interview

      Got flown out to Hoffman Estates with 13 other people from my university all interviewing for the same position. First had a group panel with managers then had two one on one interviews with managers which were behaviorally based. Then had a tour of the HQ, and lunch followed by the group activity which was in a room with two managers watching how we interacted. All the managers seemed excited to meet us. The HQ is great and has lots of amenities, also there is a casual dress code which is nice.

      Inventory Analyst Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Sears

      Interview

      They made me sit a lot, the interview was based on my resume rather than the projects which I have worked. The interviewers were less interested in projects and rather interested in definition relation answers related to the graduation degree. I am an experienced candidate and not always remember the definition part or the study oriented issues which I have done long back. As I was cofused after listening to these questions I could not give answers clearly in later part of the interview.

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Sears (Hoffman Estates, IL) in Dec 2017

      Interview

      I applied online and about 3 weeks later I received a call from HR. After speaking with the recruiting manager, I was invited to go to the headquarters in Hoffman Estates for an in-person interview. It was a 3-hour panel interview in which I met with 4 groups of interviewers back to back from different departments and spoke with a total of 10 people. Overall the interview was casual and I had a chance to speak about my experiences as well as learn more about the company/role. I received an offer 3 days after the interview.

      Inventory Analyst Interview

      Mar 28, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Hoffman Estates, IL
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Sears (Hoffman Estates, IL)

      Interview

      The college grads have their own interview process. First round I did the interview on campus with a manager. Second round invitation is at HQ. They bring in the entire group for a intro presentation, had some current employees come for Q&A as well as the Inventory & Space V-president. Then they pull people one by one for a one on one interview with an inventory manager from various departments. The managers interviewed me wasn't even the one I eventually ended up working for, so I assume it was a general personality/skill background check. All the questions are very easy general out of the book questions, nothing special. Just be prepared to be at your best for an entire day, can be exhausting.
