I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Macy's in Jul 2010
Interview
The interview process was basically answering sales question and how would I describe a sales from start to finish. I was caught off guard because I never really worked with customers. My work experience has been fast food in the kitchen, so I really could not describe the finishing part. I guess I would do more research and or watch how some sales associates do their job.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Tell me about a time I gave or seen extraordinary customer service?
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.
