I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Sears (Little Rock, AR) in Apr 2013
Interview
Heard there was an opening in the tire shop from a friend. Went to the Sears store and filled out application and then spoke with Automotive manager. We discussed my experience and the schedule I was looking to work.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Sears (Altoona, PA) in Apr 2012
Interview
I would not really consider this an interview but more of "you are hired", let's get through these informalities. Interview was one on one and was very informal and asked simple questions. It lasted approximately 20 minutes and I had a job when I walked out the door.
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Sears (Daytona Beach, FL) in Oct 2016
Interview
Put in application and was emailed the next day for an interview. I read previous reviews saying how they are always late and thought it must just be those people. No, my interview was scheduled for 3:30 so I got there at 3:15 and told one of the employees that I had an interview at 3:30 so they told me to wait closer to the time and then to knock on a door. So now it's 3:45 and one manager comes around the corner saying she'll have someone else come interview because she needs to eat lunch. So it's 4 and another interviewee got there and was shocked when I told her what time my interview was supposed to be and she ended up leaving because she did not want to wait anymore. I finally get called back around 4:15 (a whole hour after I arrived) and the interview was easy, basic questions like "tell me about yourself", availability, and why I left my past jobs and did and didn't like about them. Then he described the 3 main points of the job that I was applying for. The interview was less than 10 minutes long and received an email the next day saying I was hired and to do the prescreening process (drug test and background check). Needless to say I will not be taking the job because if that's how it was just for an interview I cant imagine how it would be working there. Very disappointing sears.
