I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Macy's (Houston, TX)
Interview
Used one of the reviews here. Got offered a position. Thank you.
The manager was very nice and I passed the interview, but the other manager for that exact department was not working that day, so I will follow up the day after.
But I am confident that I'll get a job.
I have had a Macy's interview before and was not offered a position. They told me "we'll call you". The manager from this interview told me they tell that to everyone who didn't pass the interview.
I wore a black satin dress with some flowers, black tights, black pumps and a jacket. A simple leather purse as well, very chick. I think it helped too, it showed that I have a sense of style and can really fit in the clothing department. It also means that I can help other people dress nicely as well. (As soon as I walked in, she complimented me and I knew that we had a connection.)
Anyway, just be yourself and good luck!
Oh and try to remember that personality questions from the online will be asked and checked for being truthful.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you react if you did a great job and noone praised you?
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.
