I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's (New York, NY) in Oct 2012
Interview
Herald Square:
All the questions that other people said were asked is correct. I was asked 3 basic questions.
Work Experience..?
What have I done when I seen someone on my job doing something wrong?
What would I do if I saw another person on the job doing something wrong? (Macys)
Then I was told what department they were looking for and the duties that came along with it.
I was then told that I would be contacted in a week.
A week later I was contacted and offeres the position and told to come in and sign the papers for the job.
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.
