I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Macy's in Jul 2011
Interview
I filled out an online application, took around 35 minutes. Then got an email around 2-3 days later, asking me to schedule an appointment, I did, came in to the interview. He asked me a few questions like, "Why Macys?", "name a time, you had to deal with a difficult customer.", etc.
He told me he'd have to call me back, I got a call back, and was told I did not get the job due "To the Economy being bad, and we do not want to waste time training you"
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.
