I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Sears (Milford, CT) in Apr 2011
Interview
The HR department was really hard to find, and it was even harder to make the HR person even crack a smile. I was recently assaulted, but the reason I did anyway was to prove to the attacker they didn't take over my life. I was confused as to what the definition of "Sales" was at Sears, and the interviewer was very rude to me, and snapped at me. She talked me out of the sales, and tried to talk me into the cashier position. I wanted to work in the clothing department, but she cut me off. I ended up not wanting to work at this Sears after this horrible experience. I felt bad because the other employees were very nice when I asked where the HR department was.
