I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Sears in Oct 2015
Interview
I had my first interview on campus at my school and was invited to the the final round/on-site visit. I enjoyed my visit to the HQ and liked how their interview process was set up. My interview was on a Friday and they told us we would hear back about next steps the following Monday or Tuesday. It's been 3 months and I still haven't heard back or been reimbursed. They have been unprofessional and terrible communicators throughout this whole process.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you assumed a leadership position and the positive impact you made.
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.

Question 1
What are some challenges you foresee in this role?
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.
