I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Macy's in Feb 2012
Interview
I applied in person and was asked to come in for an interview the following week. They asked basic questions why here and tell me about yourself. It was a quick interview I was hired the next day but couldn't take it.
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.
