I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Kmart (Staten Island, NY) in Jul 2011
Interview
I applied on line and took a personality test. They called me the next day, Monday and made an appointment for the interview on Wednesday. The on site HR rep was my interviewer. She asked me a few questions like "Give me an example of when you achieved more than expected" and "give me an example of a difficult situation and what did you do to resolve the situation". She then asked if I were to be hired, what area would interest me? She then asked why I applied to Kmart and I told her that I love this store, it has everything. She then told me she has openings in the shoe department and cashier. She then offered me a position as a shoe department sales associate and told me that they start at minimum wage and only offer part time for non managerial positions. It was a fast interview and she was friendly and pleasant. I wasn't nervous at all.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Have you ever had a problem that appeared impossible to solve and were you able to solve it, and how?
The interviewer was friendly and asked basic questions like why I wanted to work at Kmart. They asked what section of the store I’d most like to work in and then if I could lift more than 20 lbs.
Many people interviewed together, and they asked some basic questions like Can you tell me a little bit about yourself?
Why do you want to work at Kmart?
What do you know about Kmart?
What are your strengths and weaknesses?
It was like your regular sales associate interview about yourself and what will you do in certain situations whatever blah blah. This review isn't real because I wanted research a company that I wanted to know so jokes on you.
