The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Sears in Jun 2011
Interview
Went in 15 minutes early and had to just wait until someone came out since no one was there to check in with. When the HR rep finally came we went to the break room for the 1:1 interview. The questions were really easy; what is the most difficult situation you have ever been in? What are two goals that you have set for yourself and how did you achieve them? My availiabilty, etc. If you can make up answers on the spot like i did, you'll be fine. Next he said that i would be expected to sell 10% of the credit cards, which i said would be fine even though i never did it before. He asked if i had experience with a cash register and i said no; that seemed like problem. (even though there should be training). He said everything seemed fine and he would set up a 2nd interview later. About an hour later i got a call setting an appointment for this saturday, so we'll see.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What is the most difficult situation you have ever been in?
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.
