Behavioral Presentation
I did two interviews. First was with HR, asking basic stuff like where I'm from and work history. Then I sat on the sales floor and listened to actual calls. After that, a second interview with the team leader. She went over job details and asked more in-depth questions. Anecdotes are key! Mentioning the money and lucrative commission potential when asked why I want to work for Sears seemed to go over well. Then, a role-playing session where I had to sell a product to a reluctant customer. They want to see an honest interaction and how I react. Avoid saying 'um' during this part.

The interview process was pretty straightforward, starting with some basic questions and then an offer. I did have to wait about 45 minutes in the lobby, which suggested they might have been a bit overbooked with appointments. Despite that, the overall experience was good. Before they explained the job, they asked me to detail my past customer service roles and how my experience could benefit the company.
