The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Kmart in Mar 2012
Interview
I applied online to the two local kmarts nearest to me. I kept calling the one about a mile from my house with the same result. "The hiring manager is on vacation" or "The hiring manager is not in at the moment" and haven't received any calls back. About a week after giving up on calling the one a mile from my house, the other Kmart I applied to, 30 minutes from home, called for an interview. The interview was very easy. Just little situational questions and my availability. The interviewer was REALLY nice and after she interviewed me, she walked to the back to ask the manager if they wanted to do a second interview now but they said "We'll just call her". She put a sticky note on my application and I watched her write "Call" on my application which gave me the impression that they were going to call. She then said "You'll hear from me either Monday or Tuesday." Here it is, a week after she said she'd call me...still no calls. I'm hoping it's only because it was Easter weekend that they didn't call me.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Tell me about a time at work or school when you had to deal with a difficult situation.
It was a typical interview with a manager at the store. It was not too hard and not too easy. I would consider working here later on but not right now because of health issues.
simple. behavioral questions asking how you'd handle situations, a lot of questions about handling conflict and ethics and things along those lines. it was simple and easy to navigate,don't need much practice for most of them.
Straight forward applied interviewed chit got a call came in to an inperson inter view manager and another associate. Asked passed jobs I was in school asked about working weekends and over time how I dealt with stressful situations s
