I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Macy's (Tucson, AZ) in Jan 2013
Interview
I applied online pretty late at night on the Macy's website. I got a email instantly saying they are going to look over my application and I will be contacted by email if I was qualified. The next day I got a email to set up my own interview time. It was really easy to set up a time and they give you detailed instructions on where, the date, and what time you have to be there. I had to reschedule my interview for personal reasons but that didn't seem to hurt my chances. I went for my interview and they asked me what I did in my previous job, Why did you chose to apply at Macy's, how would you open a macys account, and a lot of "what would you do situations". Everything went good and I got hired on the spot. I would say it was fairly easy to get hired.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Macy's (Orlando, FL)
Interview
Virtue first. Then, at the store. Interview questions are not hard but hiring manager/s are sketchy. They posted part time positions but when I got into the interview they said their looking for people wanting full time job. So unprofessional to take my time.
