SEARS JOBS

 

Some application tips for Sears jobs from a trusted source:

Depending on where you want to work, there are store positions available and also distribution warehouses that are seeking qualified applicants. Kmart is also part of the Sears Corporation so there are positions available through both companies. Once you select which store or center you would like to work at the process proceeds and asks if you want to fill out an application in English or Spanish.

During the application process you will be asked a series of questions to see if you qualify for employment with Sears. You will need to provide your current work history, your education and your availability to work. There are minimum requirements for each position that you are applying for, you will also need to take an on-line assessment test.

In order to log in you will need to provide a Social Security Number, your first and last name and a zip code. If you are not able to finish the application or need to log out for any reason you can come back to the online jobs application and pick up where you left off. If you apply to more than one store only one of your applications will be on file, the newest application will cancel out the old one you may have filled out the day before so only have one application in the system at one time.

Sears and Kmart Rewarding Customers Who 'Stash Their Cash' for the Upcoming Holidays

Retailers Help Americans Budget for the Season with the Christmas Club Card
Program

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., Aug. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The holiday
season is a time to celebrate with family and friends, not to worry about
how to pay for holiday gifts. With that in mind, Sears and Kmart are
helping customers plan ahead and save - so they can more fully enjoy the
holidays - by bringing them the Sears and Kmart Christmas Club card.

The Christmas Club card allows shoppers to save ahead for their holiday
purchases at Sears and Kmart months before hitting the stores or surfing
the Internet. Starting now, Sears and Kmart Christmas Club card users can
put aside some funds on a regular basis through November 14 to add value to
this unique gift card and receive a special reward when they do.

When activated between now and October 31, Christmas Club card users
will earn a three percent reward - up to a maximum of $100 - based upon the
value they have on their Christmas Club cards on November 14. To activate
cards or add additional value at any time, customers can visit any Sears or
Kmart store location, or online at http://www.sears.com/christmasclub or
http://www.kmart.com/christmasclub.

According to a recent survey* commissioned by Sears and Kmart, the
troubled economy has Americans worrying about their finances more than ever
before. Nearly six in ten (58%) are more concerned about how they are going
to pay for their holiday shopping this year than they were last year.

Susan Ehrlich, President, Financial Services, Sears Holdings, says
feedback from their customers prompted the retailer to take action. "We
heard that our customers were concerned about how they were going to pay
for their holiday shopping this year and we wanted to provide a way to ease
that concern," she said. "The Christmas Club card provides a unique way for
Sears and Kmart customers to start planning for their holiday shopping
ahead of the hustle and bustle of the season and earn a reward for planning
and saving ahead."

More than half of Americans (56%) say they plan to save money for the
winter holidays this year. In fact, nearly one-third (32%) of these folks
already started stashing away some funds and another 38 percent plan to
start saving cash this month or next. Why the emphasis on saving now? It's
clear that shoppers have changing priorities this year - nearly
three-quarters (72%) plan to do things differently this holiday season,
whether it's spending less on gifts (57%), shopping at more affordable
stores (53%), or planning and setting a shopping budget ahead of time
(49%). One priority that has not changed: Americans' generous desire to
give gifts to more people, even in very challenging economic times. Seventy
percent of Americans admit they'd like to give gifts to more people, but
think they might not be able to afford it.

As Americans seek to save more and charge less (33% of those who plan
to do things differently this year say they plan to use their credit cards
less this holiday season), the Christmas Club card program is an ideal
solution for holiday shoppers on any budget. By encouraging Sears and Kmart
customers to plan ahead and save for their holiday gift shopping, this
flexible and rewarding budgeting card is designed to help solve shoppers'
anxiety about paying for the holiday gifts that they want to purchase.

"Our customers have been pretty clear about what's most important to
them this holiday season," noted Ehrlich. "They want more ways to provide
the very best holiday they can, and they want to do that in a responsible
way. When they save ahead with the Christmas Club card from Sears and
Kmart, our customers can really enjoy the holidays without the worry of
having to deal with an expensive bill later."

Starting, adding value to, and redeeming the Christmas Club card is
designed to be as easy and flexible as possible. Customers can start their
Christmas Club cards with as little as five dollars, and they can add value
as often as they want - at any one of Sears Holdings approximately 3,900
full-line and specialty retail stores, or online at http://www.sears.com or
http://www.kmart.com.

As with all Sears and Kmart gift cards, there are no fees associated
with the Christmas Club card, and the value on the card will not expire.
Cash or credit refunds are not allowed except where required by law.

Sears and Kmart seek to offer their customers the broadest range of
purchasing flexibility available to their customers. As with layaway and
the full range of Sears and Kmart credit financing offers available for our
customers, the Christmas Club card provides one more way to Shop Your Way
-- and to be rewarded with up to $100 for planning ahead!
