I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's (Costa Mesa, CA)
Interview
Very simple, relaxed and straight forward. No curve balls. I met with more than one manager for interviews. Believe I met with three people in total, all asking different questions related to my experience. The final interview was more in depth and also when I had to perform a mock merchandising set up on the showroom floor.
