I was able to interview immediately upon walk in, after completing a written application. There was a small group of friendly and competent human resources staff available at the time.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's (Boca Raton, FL) in Apr 2013
Interview
Department manager interviewed me. Asked me questions about education, current schedule, if I am available weekends. Why I want to work at Macy's, where I see myself in the next few years. Asked me general questions on how to sell certain products (ex:selling a pair of slacks) and how I would go as to promoting their credit cards to open credit with customers. Spoke about Macy's MAGIC selling. Very friendly, one on one interview.

Question 1
How would I handle other associates correcting me or trying to help me in Macy's. (Answer: I would handle it as constructive criticism and take it positively)
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Macy's (La Jolla, CA) in Mar 2022
Interview
I started with a "virtual", interview that included recorded video questions. I went through all of the many required tests and online video recordings and received a phone call from a woman to come in the very next day for an interview.
Note: When I filled out the online application I checked the box that indicated I could work evenings and weekends.
The woman who greeted me acted like she was surprised that I could only work part time hours.
I stayed calm and polite, I smiled I made eye contact which she rarely returned and unfortunately, her disgruntled mood never improved. The interview was actually a big waste of time for both of us. If she did not like my recorded video interview or the fact that I just wanted to work part time, then why did she contact me for an interview?

All this interviewer cared about was the hours I could work.
I applied online. I interviewed at Macy's (Staten Island, NY) in May 2020
Interview
It was pretty easy, I think the one thing was that I was nervous so I felt like I will mess up, but they made me feel relaxed and confident with what I was saying.
