The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's (Costa Mesa, CA) in Jun 2010
Interview
Got an email to schedule an interview. Went to macys, they were a little late, I had to wait a long time. Couple other people were waiting, too. Got called by a lady and we went into a room with no table, just computers. I thought it was a little weird. Kept referring to my other experience at another macys. Asked me what departments I would prefer, she left to go ask human resources what positions were open, she comes back in and says the departments I wanted have no openings, and I asked her about the other departments, and she told me that they arent hiring any sales associates. So why are you interviewing. Lady was very rude.
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.
