Interview
I recently applied for 5 or 6 different jobs at Macys, and ended up with two different interviews. The application was very long and though I can see why I think it was to long for the application process. The interviews were a lot like their application process. There wernt a lot of questions, however the questions they asked were very particular.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The hardest question for me was regarding selling the Macys card to someone who may not need it and how I would sell it.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Macy's (Orlando, FL)
Interview
Virtue first. Then, at the store. Interview questions are not hard but hiring manager/s are sketchy. They posted part time positions but when I got into the interview they said their looking for people wanting full time job. So unprofessional to take my time.
