I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's (Burnsville, MN) in Jul 2010
Interview
I applied online and they sent me an e-mail, the very next day saying they would like to schedule an interview with me. I schedule my interview for Tuesday at 5:00 pm. I got to the interview at 4:45 pm and she had told me, she had me down for 5:30 pm. I had her look at the confirmation e-mail, they had sent and she was like okay. She had me wait for 10 minutes. Than, she had me fill out what times I could be available which I've already done online! Grr.. She takes a look at it.. than proceeds on to my interview which was literally 15 minutes. At the end of the interview, she was like your hours don't correspond to our needs.. I WAS ANNOYED.. They should be more specific on what they wanted on the website? Maybe they wouldn't have to waste their time or mines interviewing people they don't need. OH WELL..
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you feel about stealing? If you seen it happened? What did you do?
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.
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.
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.
