I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's in Jun 2010
Interview
I just scheduled an interview with macy's through their website, when I got there I waited outside their office and a man came and asked my name and he pulled up my file and interviewed me in his office. It was unexpected because usually it is a group interview. But anyways he asked generic questions like tell me about your work experience blah blah blah. What if you were in this situation type of things. In the end though he told me that as of right now there are no job opening as they just hired two people yesterday and it works as a first come first serve basis. Anyways, it could've been nice if he just told me in the beginning or something instead of wasting my time.
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.
