      Sales Associate Interview

      10 Aug 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Joplin, MO
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Sears (Joplin, MO) in Jun 2012

      Interview

      This was, without a doubt, the most horifying job interview I ever could have imagined. I showed up on time; I was told that the manager holding my interview, Manny Cordoba, would be with me in a few minutes. About fifteen minutes later he showed up with several other employees, saw that I was there, and then proceeded to hold a ten minute meeting, making me wait. I would have left and not returned if I had known it was him. When I finally got in, I was shut in a small room with him. He intimidated me into agreeing to work earlier and later. He was not friendly at all and very cold. Several times he made me feel very unintelligent. As it was an interview, I was prepared to answer questions about myself, but was shocked when he started rambling about comission sales, how employees are required to have have a 30% sales rate on Sears cards, and other absurd store ideals that are certainly contributing to the demise of the franchise. Overall, he was a highly unpleasant individual, and I recall wondering at the time how on Earth he had weasled his way into a management position with this attitude. When he finished his interview, he told me that I had to do two more interviews, and that my second interview would follow the first. The woman that interviewed me next was friendly and warm, a stark contrast from that neanderthal of a man that had interoggated me. Unfotunately, he'd put a sour taste in my mouth, and I wanted nothing to do with the company. I was scheduled for a third interview the next day even though I showed that I was not interested. I cancelled the next day, and thanked the good lord above for letting me dodge a bullet.

      Question 1

      There were plenty of absurd questions, but one that stumped me was whether or not I would be interested in doing comission sales. I had no idea what they were at the time, and given the scoundrel's attitude, I had no intentions of asking.

      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.
