I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Macy's in Feb 2008
Interview
I applied via email. I recieved an email response within a few days. It was a 1:1 interview with a very nice HR and sales manager. I was offered a job by phone later the same day. Nice place to work.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you provided excellent customer service.
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.
