I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Sears (Pennsdale, PA) in Aug 2011
Interview
They were organized and I arrived 15 min early and they took me in right away. First, a guy interviewed me and he broke the awkwardness by telling me about himself and asking a few questions. then he asked the basic questions like: Are u willing to ask customers if they have a Sears card wit them or if they would like them?, then he asked do you think u can handle this type of job. Have i ever been arrested? Can I prove Im eligible to work? Then he is like,"I'm goin to offer you an extended interview." then he went to get a woman to ask me questions like: What accomplishments have you made in school?, What are ur 2 goals in school?, Have you ever been in a situation and how did u handle it?, Have u helped anyone or did something to help others and how?, Name 3 reasons why you wouldn't buy thing online? Do u have experience with technology and what? Have you helped people with technology? Then she is like im goin to offer you the job, do you accept? and I said yes. They both were really cool. Now i just got to go get a drug test and ill be good to go! Hope this helped. And when you go in be yourself and truthful and be confident, thats what helped me. Make sure you look them in the eye when your answering their questions and think about what your goin to say before you say 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
The interview process can vary depending on the company and position, but here’s a general idea of what to expect:
1. Application Review: After applying, they’ll review your resume. If they’re interested, you’ll get a call or email to set up an interview.
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
Fill application form to apply and wait few days before submitting it to the company. Had to provide personal documents and references from previous employers. Initially was interviewed on a phone.
