I applied online. I interviewed at Macy's (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2016
Interview
I had to fold shirts. Folded the shirts more and I folded more shirts. I sometimes talked to customers but I mostly folded the shirts. I folded many different types of shirts.
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.
