I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Macy's in Oct 2012
Interview
Signed up to interview through university job board. Was instructed to apply online for internship through Macy's, and took a 30 minute personality test before actual interview occurred. After being selected for a first round interview, found that it consisted of two parts: a one-on-one interview with a store manager and a case study scenario.

Question 1
The case study was difficult because of preparation time constraints.
HR was super friendly and sweet! They make you send over your resume so I went over my resume. After that, they only asked two questions and introduction and why Macy
Got through two rounds of interviews including an online assessment. Long time to even hear final response. A bit slow to get through the process start to finish- difficult to be patient with.
2 rounds. 1 with HR, 30 minutes, fairly straight forward and mostly behavioral. 2nd round with Manager. Have you fill out document researching company/coming up with ideas beforehand and walk through with interviewer. Mix of those questions and behavioral.
