I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Macy's in Feb 2014
Interview
The manager that interviewed me was very nice and super nonchalant. She read the questions off a sheet and wrote down my answers. She was super friendly and everything was very easy, she did her best to put my nerves at ease.
They asked basic questions such as why I wanted to work for Macy's, where I heard about this job, my hour availability, if I could use computers and technology, if I worked well as a team, do I like a stable environment or a changing one, which department I wanted to work in and why, ect. There weren't any difficult questions, really.
After the interview she explained that the cosmetics department (the department I asked to work in) requires a second interview. So we set up that interview for a few days later. Unfortunately the cosmetics position was filled so I was offered a position in another department (with the first women who interviewed me) and I accepted.

Question 1
There were really no difficult questions.
Tell me about a time when you had to work with coworkers to solve a problem
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.
