I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Macy's (Costa Mesa, CA) in Jan 2020
Interview
Several questions, asked about a difficult situation. Was an entry job. Asked if I had experience with sales, cash management, time management, etc. Also required references. Asked if I wanted the job on the spot
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.
