      Sales Associate Interview

      27 Dec 2011
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Sears in Jun 2011

      Interview

      I applied online for the job and was told to pick an interview time. I went to the interview and had to wait about 20 minutes before anybody even let me into the office. Once i got into the office I interviewed with the HR person. She was friendly but seemed kind of irritated (later I learned that was just her personality). She asked all the basic questions and wrote down my answers. I think it will help if you tell about a lot of experiences where you helped other people. They like that. After that interview the softline sales manager interviewed me. She was very nice. She asked some of the sale questions the HR lady did and some of the same ones that were in the actual application. Just be nice and smile a lot. Ask some questions about whatever position you are trying to get. They didn't actually know what position they wanted me to work. So I ended up training in the shoe department, the misses cash register, and home fashions. I was told to pick which one I liked better. I was hired the same day as the interview. Orientation was a couple days later and I then started training a day after that.

      The interview process was alright. Not the worst interview process but also not the best interview process. I would go through the process again. I would recommend the interview process to others

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Sears (Clay, NY)

      Interview

      It was my first job, and it was a fairly standard interview at the time. It was difficult, because the hiring manager was not there, despite having should been. I was told to check back for three days in a row, before the person that made me the offer just happened to be there and decided to conduct an interview after three days of checking back.
