I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Macy's in Feb 2011
Interview
I applied online and received an email from Macy's asking me to schedule an interview very shortly afterward. I went in for my interview and was hired on the spot. At first I thought I must have had a good interview, but now I think maybe they were just desperate for people.
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.
