      Cosmetics Sales Associate Interview

      Mar 24, 2011
      Anonymous employee
      Pleasanton, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Macy's (Pleasanton, CA) in Sep 2010

      Interview

      I was called in for an interview and when I went in the first time, there was nobody to see me. I scheduled another interview the next day and when I went back, they were going to send me home again! Fortunately, someone did come and interview me. She took me to a hallway and we sat in chairs outside of the hr room and it very informal. I was called back for a second interview and I met with a trainer who was very nice and we sat out in the mall area. She seemed to be very professional and gave me more information and asked me a lot more formal interview questions. I was then called by the department regional manager for a phone inteview. This was the most interigative of interviews and I felt it went well. I felt that this was a lot to go though for a $11 an hour job and an opportunity to get 3% commision. I was not impressed with the lack of communication with Macy's and the department that I ended up getting a job in. I was also not pleased that the job schedule I agreed to did not really exsist. They have gotten rid of the day short position that I thought I was going to get because the turn over was too high.

      Cosmetics Sales Associate Interview

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's (San Antonio, TX)

      Interview

      I worked at Macy's in the late 2010s. The cosmetics manager asked me several questions. A few questions were difficult, like asking about what I would do if I saw a coworker stealing, but most were straightforward. She was also very respectful and supportive since I was unsure how to answer a few of the questions. They know that you need time to learn. Overall, it was a great experience for a beginner applicant.
