I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Macy's (Durham, NC) in Jun 2010
Interview
Applied for a position as an hourly sales associate. When I was brought in for an interview they said they were interested in having me as a commission only sales associate in furniture. I was not interested in this and they did not consider me for other positions (to my knowledge). The manager was gung-ho, but tried to answer my questions for me instead of letting me answer them myself. I had originally applied online, was offered an interview after 2 days, interviewed in person, and they declined to hire me by email after another 4 days.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
He wanted an example of outstanding customer service I have received recently.
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.
