I applied for this job using Macysjobs.com. The Taleo system that Macy's uses very quickly recognized me as a possible good candidate. Unfortunately, it was clear that the hiring manager had only seen my resume for seconds as I saw the lady from HR take what I believe was my paperwork to her. I believe that if hiring managers were allowed to screen applicants I would not have been called at all.
The hiring manager made me wait for over 20 minutes to be interviewed while she completed her previous appointment. The interview largely consisted of the hiring manager asking for me to talk about my self at first. She then asked if I had any questions. It was clear from the first few seconds that she had no real interest in me. I was just a computer pick.
I could have done without the interview being scheduled at all since I clearly did not meet the preconceived notions that the hiring manager had for her team.
The rejection email came more than 48 hours later, but I could tell before the end of my 20 minute interview that it had been a waste of time.
