I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Macy's (Santa Ana, CA) in Mar 2011
Interview
I applied online and got an email back to schedule an interview a few days later. I scheduled an appointment and it was a 1 on 1 interview that was relatively simple and was only about 20 minutes long. The lady was very nice and friendly she asked question's like why Macy's or what has been you best customer service experience?
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.
