I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kmart (Hayward, CA)
Interview
Very straight forward group interview. If you get a call you are basically hired. After the interview you are called in for an orientation where you just watch a video fill out paperwork and tour the store.

Past experience...
I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Kmart (Winter Springs, FL) in Feb 2013
Interview
Interview was fairly short, questions more focused on general personality traits. Nothing exciting or hard. Typical retail questionnaire both pre-interview and after. Interviewed with both hardlines manager and store manager at the time.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kmart (Bellflower, CA) in Aug 2015
Interview
So I get a call, went in for an interview, and aced it. I was told I would be a great asset to the company. The woman then asks for me to come in a few days later to speak with the person who does training named Latanya and she told me to make sure I wore the store colors. Then I come in just to find out that little miss Latanya was just going to do a second interview and ask me the Exact same questions, in the Exact same order, off of the little script she was reading. So in that interview, I did horrible because I wasn't prepared, thought I was already hired, and was a little upset. No call back. But whatever.
