      Retail Sales Associate, Part Time Interview

      Mar 7, 2018
      Anonymous employee
      Fresno, CA
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Macy's in Jul 2013

      Interview

      I was encouraged to apply for the job after my last interview with Macy's 2 weeks ago, so I did. Unfortunately, when I sat down with the person in charge of the interview, I could instantly tell he did not want to hire me. From the way he looked at me and spoke to me, he was pretty bored and uninterested. He even worded the questions in a way I did not understand. Nontheless, I was very upbeat and answered the questions at the best of my ability. I wasn't at all suprised when I got the rejection email shortly after.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The same questions as the other ones except worded differently.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Macy's (Fresno, CA) in Mar 2018

      Interview

      It was a very quick process. I applied on a Friday night and was emailed to schedule an interview the next morning. I scheduled the interview the following week. I got there early, but only waited about 10 mins. The manager who interviewed me was very easygoing and I felt no pressure at all! She asked me basic questions that Macy’s provides managers to ask. Over all it was a very quick and easy process.

      Question 1

      -Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

      Question 2

      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Macy's (Miami, FL) in Jun 2016

      Interview

      I applied online and days later I got an email from them saying they wanted an interview with me. I set up the interview and picked the date and went to the interview where the lady was very nice and i felt comfortable talking to her. She asked me questions and scenarios as well and told me she didn't have anything for the job I was applying for but she did have other jobs and she offered me one and I accepted. She told me she would call me in 48 hours to see if the job I applied for had an opening but if not then I would just get the job that I accepted. It went pretty well! Thank God.

      Retail Sales Associate - Part Time Interview

      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Macy's (Glendale, CA) in Jun 2015

      Interview

      I applied online (June 16) and got an email back the next day (June 17) to schedule an interview with them. The next available interview time was a week from that day (June 24) which is when i scheduled my interview. I arrived about half an hour early and waited around 5-10 minutes after my scheduled interview time to be called in. The lady who was interviewing me had come back a little late from her lunch. She asked me a bunch of scenario based questions, like what i would do in certain situations, or to give her an example of how i delt with a previous situation. At first she came across a little intimidating and i actually choked when she asked me a certain question and straight up said "ummm i don't know", at that point i thought i had totally ruined my chances of getting the job but she reworded the question and was really cool and understanding about my nervousness and the rest of the interview went really well and smoothly from there, i ended up getting hired on the spot and was told to come back and start my training another 6 or so days later (June 30). The hours seem to be really flexible, you basically pick your own schedule and you're paid every friday! If you're a student of any kind i would really recommend looking into jobs at Macy's cause they offer good pay, experience, and a flexible schedule that you can make work even for the most hectic of schedules.
