The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Sears (Austin, TX) in Mar 2012
Interview
Pretty much offered me the job after I submitted my 2 weeks notice at my current job, then renigged on their offer after I came to the store. Horrible, now I'm working for minimum wage as a sales person trying to make ends meet.
I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Sears in May 2011
Interview
the interview is standard. Phone and two on one on interviews is the norm. Be professional and be prepared to give examples of results you have driven in previous jobs. Background and drug test will be necessarry. Be patient it could take a month.
The hiring manager doesn't complete all the onboarding so be patient he is probably working with a recruiter that he does not see everyday.
