I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Sears (Sarnia, ON) in Nov 2015
Interview
Very laid back and easy. Applied online and had call for interview the next week. My interview was quick and easy with very minimal questions mostly just conversation about my life. I was offered a job on the spot as long as my back ground check went through, this was on a Saturday, and my start day was Thursday.

Question 1
What do you know about Sears, why do you want to work for Sears
Straight forward, they had me fill out questions on a computer. It then was a group interview, it would have been nice to have a one on one so it was a bit awkward.
