People - The Power of You

The Power of You is the power that’s in all of us. At Sears Holdings, every associate has the ability, the privilege and the opportunity to do something great both for the Company and for themselves.

We are committed to supporting each and every one of our associates both in their careers and in their everyday lives. That is why we offer advancement opportunities, training, and support, and why we are so involved in the communities we serve. The strength and heritage of our brands make us the American retail icon that we are today.

In twenty years, will you look back on your career knowing that you did something great? Will you look back knowing that you had the power to do something that no one else could? If you bring your career to Sears Holdings, you will. That’s the power behind the Power of You.

While the qualifications for employment opportunities may be unique, the core values for the ideal Sears Holdings candidate remain the same. We’re looking for people who are focused on the customer, able to build and align teams, know how to make money, and want to be a part of a learning culture. People who are commercially focused, entrepreneurial, innovative, comfortable with change, have can-do attitudes and want to win will be successful at Sears Holdings. Finally, individuals who thrive in an environment they find professionally challenging and personally satisfying will want to be on the Sears Holdings team.

You can team with people possessing outstanding communication and interpersonal skills. We know it's cliche, but there's no more direct way to say it: above all else, nearly everyone you'll work with if you work at Sears Holdings is a "people person," with excellent communication, teamwork and other interpersonal skills.

The highly personal nature of the retail industry demands it, as does the size and structure of our close-knit workforce. We're a very large group of people, working together to meet the needs of an even larger group of people - our customers.

When we're not interacting with customers directly, we're thinking about how to serve them better. Whether you work in a store or in one of our other business units and functions, you'll learn how to confront a myriad of daily challenges in order to make customers happy.

None of our efforts will suffice unless we hire the right people. Our associates are the best and brightest in the industry, and they bring to our Company a competitive advantage that no other organization can match. We hire candidates from a wide variety of academic backgrounds and majors.

If you ask our current associates, they'll say the best part of their jobs is their daily interaction with highly talented and success-driven colleagues. They're dedicated and open-minded, ready to adapt to any situation - and ready to help their fellow associates when needed.

We also realize that one of the most important strengths of our corps of associates is their own diversity.

In addition to being an important social responsibility, diversity serves as a vital and competitive business advantage for Sears. We're dedicated to doing everything we can to increase and maintain our diverse workforce and to enable all associates to work to their fullest potential.
