I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's (Roseville, CA) in Aug 2010
Interview
I came in and met with who would eventually be my immediate manager and the store manager as well. They did a one on one interview with me asking about my experience and telling me that hopes and plans they had for the department.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Tell us about your work experience and why you want to work for Macy's.
Recieved phone call to come in for in-person interview. Was told to expect an email from the brand tep for a 2nd and final interview. This didn't happen. I followed up a few times to ensure I hadn't missed any communication and was blatantly given the run around and lied to by the hiring manager. She didn't make eye contact during the interview and yawned several times throughout. Had they not wanted to move forward with me then they should have communicated next steps properly vs telling me lies that I'm still being considered and should hear from the rep soon for my 2nd interview. I wouldn't trust working for an individual who's communication and behavior just demonstrated they lack proper training and skills themselves to communicated with applicants. If I can't trust that what you tell me is 100% true at face value then I'm afraid it would have been a bad start to a relationship anyway. Disappointed in my interviewer and the folling communication and lack f respect and integrity shown to me.
After 30 minutes of sitting in waiting area for the interviewer to come(and me getting no response when I reached out to let the person who set up the interview know Id been waiting), I got up and left. Complete disregard for my time.
The Store Manager was kind and informative. The interview process was fast and there was a second interview with the ASM, In person for both interviews, and there was little time between communication and interviews.
