Interview
I applied online and received a call a few days later. To begin with, the woman who called me was a recruiter (forgive me, I think that is what they call themselves), and although she was very kind, she didn't know much about my individual store it seemed. I arrived several minutes early and I began asking the employees where the person I would meet with was. All of the employees told me she'd be with me briefly, and I sat in the human resources room for quite awhile. Finally, I realized that no one was coming and they were actually closing down some parts of the room, so I went out and asked some more employees. Around thirty minutes later another woman came in and she said she'd be doing my interview. She never gave me her name and when I asked her if she was the woman I was supposed to meet with, she said she was not, but she would be doing my interview anyway. She only asked me around two questions and skimmed my resume, and seemed very disinterested. She told me she'd call me in a few days, and I never received a call back and ended up finding employment elsewhere. Overall, the entire process seemed very disorganized.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sears in Jul 2013
Interview
I was called after 2 weeks of waiting and asked if I am still looking for a job. I said yes and I was brought in for an interview. The interview was fairly simple, asked me if 10$ is fine and I said its ok (I just graduated from highschool back then and just want to get some cash). I was trained on how to use the POS machine and was inserted towards the floor after a week of training.

Interview
It was very brief and simple, just be professional and show them you want the job. If you show them that you're a hard worker, willing to work any hours, you'll have a good shot at getting the job.
