I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Macy's in Oct 2011
Interview
I first interviewed for a sales associate position but the interviewer recommended I interview for the Sales Supervisor position available for the holidays. I then spoke with the HR head and they described the position to me. She asked me to come back into the store for a second interview with the store manager.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you experienced an unethical situation in the work place?
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.
