ABOUT THIS COMPANY:

Not just the basics

Publicly traded Sears Holdings is the parent company of both Sears, Roebuck & Co. and Kmart. The Illinois-headquartered firm operates about 3,800 full-line and specialty retail stores across the U.S. and Canada. The company's proprietary brands include Kenmore appliances, Craftsman tools and DieHard batteries, and clothing labels from Jaclyn Smith and Joe Boxer. The company also owns Lands' End and its mail-order business; certain Sears retail outlets also carry Lands' End merchandise. In addition, Sears Holdings offers Martha Stewart Everyday products at Kmart stores and Sears Canada. The firm, which is also America's largest provider of home services, makes more than 13 million service calls each year. During 2007, the company raked in over $50 billion in revenue, a $3 billion decline over the previous year. Fortune ranked the company No. 45 on its 2008 list of the country's largest corporations. This represented a slight drop from 2007, when Sears Holdings ranked No. 38 on Fortune's list. In addition, in 2007, Sears Holdings ranked No. 5 on STORES Magazine's list of Top 100 Retailers.

SURVEY SAYS


Fairly easy interviews

Insiders say the number of interviews varies depending on the position for which you are applying. Most employees in stores say they went through one or two interviews. However, one assistant store manager says, "A counterpart of mine was hired about one year ago and had seven (yes, seven) interviews before he was taken on board."
