The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Macy's in Nov 2009
Interview
Most interviews I've been on have been a lot more difficult....standard rule of thumb is interviewee should be talking 80% of the time. I the two interviews I had the interviewers were the 80% talkers. Interview process almost seemed hapharard with established personnel not being trained to interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you have any issues with exceptionally early/late hours during holiday time.
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.
