      Beauty Advisor Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Honolulu, HI
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's (Honolulu, HI) in Apr 2012

      Interview

      I applied online for the open position of Beauty Advisor. It was your typical online application--register to apply, upload a resume and cover letter, fill out the application and complete a questionnaire. It took about 40 minutes. The next day I received an email with an interview invite and I needed to follow the link provided, log on to my account and pick a date and time to be seen for an interview. There was an opening for the next day and I selected that one. Upon scheduling, I received a confirmation email with directions to the store and where to go when I get there. The next day, I arrive for my interview and met with the department manager. He took me to an open spot in the housewares department and conducted the interview there. He asked me questions like, "tell me about a time when..." and why I wanted to work at the cosmetics counter. Also about my previous employment and what my positions were. It was about 40 minutes long, standing in front of the towels displayed on a shelf. I wore heels and my feet were killing me standing in one place. They actually fell asleep! But I digress. My interviewer was pretty laid back, he looked at his papers most of the time, and kind of "mmhmm-mmhmmed" my responses. He told me there weren't many hours available at the cosmetic counters so I would probably start off in a different department at $8/hr. I was disappointed because the position advertised wasn't available at all, and the pay was too low for what was expected. I thought the interview went well, but I never got a reply back. Not even to tell me I didn't get the job. After what I found out, I probably wouldn't have accepted it anyway.
