      Inventory Analyst Interview

      Aug 2, 2019
      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.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Sears in Jan 2011

      Interview

      I first met with the company at a career fair in college and received an email from their HR representative shortly after to come in for an interview. I heard they usually do intelligence tests so I heavily prepared but did not have one, instead it was a group interview with two department directors and my future manager. All males. In fact, I ended up being the only female in my whole department. If you are a woman I do not recommend dressing too stylish or in tight fitting clothes if it is for a more analytical role, the only department who values that is the fashion inventory analysts/department. Otherwise, everyone hired with us dressed very classy and modest. They basically just asked about my resume combined with basic behavioral interview questions. One thing they were most interested in was my ability to use excel. I had never used it before but I could tell it was a deal breaker if I didn’t so I bluffed and decided to learn it upon being hired. Thank goodness I did because I would not have been hire otherwise, everything you do at the company is on excel since their other company software is so outdated. I would highly recommend mentioning you love working with numbers and excel because that is the foundation of everything you do. I actually thought I had bombed the interview due to the intensity of the questions and atmosphere but received a call from HR on the way home from the interview congratulating me on how much they liked me and wanted to formally offer me the position.

      Average interview

      Application

      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.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through 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.
