Hiring process information for an interview at Sears
Before gaining a Sears interview, an applicant must first create an online profile with the company. Follow the steps outlined by Sears and fill out information, such as work history, relevant job experience, availability, and salary expectations. After completing the Sears information submission process, expect to receive a phone call to set up an interview. Hiring managers may take up to two weeks to contact successful applicants about setting up interviews.
At the job interview, a potential associate generally speaks with a shift supervisor, department manager, and store manager. Some Sears stores may only require applicants to sit through a single interview session, while others require several rounds of interviews. During the interview, the hiring manager poses random scenarios to applicants in order to gauge reactions. Prospective Sears employees should dress presentably and display a positive, professional, and motivated attitude throughout the hiring process. Previous experience in retail may prove advantageous to hopeful workers.

May 2nd, 2010 at 10:58 amBesides wearing nice clothes, make sure you leave a good impression on every answer you give during the interview.
May 2nd, 2010 at 3:43 pmAlways helps to read up about the company in advance as well. You could really impress them with specific knowledge about the company that maybe they wouldnt expect you to know!
May 4th, 2010 at 4:49 pmThat’s a great advice Kenneth. thanks a lot!
May 6th, 2010 at 7:56 pmMake sure you know what you are talking about, you dont want to say something wrong thinking that you’re gonna impress someone and end up not getting the job.
May 12th, 2010 at 4:56 pmWhat you also have to do before your interview at Sears, if you have any facial piercings, remove them. That will help you present yourself better and as a more responsible person. Unfortunately, facial piercings are still not acceptable most places you will work.
