I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Macy's (Tukwila, WA) in Mar 2013
Interview
Applied online and completed a very long assessment. Within a few days, received an e-mail inviting me to schedule an interview through the website. On the day of interview, the interviewer was the Sales Manager of the second floor, and was friendly. I was asked all of the questions that others had shared about their interview experiences; however, there was one that I had not expected. The question was sort of like this: How would you prioritize in the following situation? "Your ringing up a customer's merchandise, the phone is ringing, another customer is awaiting at the counter to ask a question, another customer is waiting in line, and you need to do recovery of clothing."

How would you prioritize occurrences in a particular scenario? (Read about the question in the "Hiring and Interview Process."
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.
