I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Macy's (Albuquerque, NM) in Oct 2011
Interview
I applied online. Within a few days, I got an email for me to schedule an interview. I scheduled the interview for the following week. When I went to the interview, I waited around for about 15 minutes, then got called back. I realized at this point that they were doing one interview after the other. The manager asked me a series of "what if" questions. After about 30 minutes, she said I did well and wanted to offer me the position. I then schedule a time to complete my new hire paperwork.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What would you do if someone came up to you asking for something, and you had no idea what it was or where to find it?
Was interviewed for a seasonal position. Was told they have no seasonal positions, once they found out I was a college student. Made no sense to me quickly ended the interview.
The interview process was straightforward and fairly quick. It started with a phone interview from a recruiter or hiring representative who asked general questions about my background, availability, and interest in the role. The tone was professional but conversational, and the interviewer focused on making sure I could handle a fast-paced, customer-facing environment.
I had one interview with the store manager and it lasted for about 45 minutes. The interview was all standard behavioral questions. I was offered the job on the spot.
