I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Macy's
Interview
1) I applied online, got an email the next day to set up an interview.
2) Set up in-person with interview online and showed up
- They asked why i wanted this position, and other basic customer service questions
3) Met with the department manager. Explained what I liked about my previous positions and again why I wanted this position
4) Had talent-plus interview (ridiculous and everyone knows 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.
