      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kmart (New York, NY) in Jul 2011

      Interview

      I completed the online application, did a follow-up to the H.R. I got a call back saying I can come in for an interview. I went in and was asked a couple of basic questions and then was told to come back for another interview with the Manager. I came back for the interview with the manager and he asked a few questions, basically going over what was asked before, and then he told me if I pass the drug test that I got the job. Well I passed the drug test but it took FOREVER for them to call us into orientation [About a week and a half]. I almost took another job offer. But yeah after that, I had to take some LONG online OPT assessment then I was on training for the register for 3 days. That's it.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kmart (Knoxville, TN) in Apr 2018

      Interview

      I put in an online application and after a week I received a call from the hiring manager that they wanted to do an interview. It was very relaxed, but formal. Not a fast-food "interview" that's for sure.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Kmart

      Interview

      The interview was very straight forward. Asked me a little bit about myself and my availability to work. The whole process took about 15 minutes, and the HR rep made me an offer on the spot. Pretty much once you have the interview you have the job.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Kmart (Logan, UT) in Apr 2012

      Interview

      The online application is very long and repetitive. It took me 45 minutes to complete and it was mostly common sense questions. I was called in for an interview a week and a half later. I met with the H.R. representative and interviewed with pretty standard questions. The G.M. popped his head in as well to just say a quick hello. The process was pretty quick. I was called back within a few days and scheduled orientation.
