I applied online. I interviewed at Macy's (Fresno, CA) in Sep 2016
Interview
Applied online and received an email 2 days later to schedule an interview for the following week. When I got to Macy's, there was a lot of other applicants interviewing with other managers at the same time. The interview only lasted about 15 minutes and was very conversational. It has been 3 days and still haven't heard back whether I got it or not. However, I would be very surprised if I didn't get the job, as I'm over qualified for this position with both education and years of experience.
Interview questions [5]
Question 1
Macy's sell through Magic which stands for Meet, ask etc ..... how would you according to Magic approach a customer?
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.
