I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's in Feb 2011
Interview
I showed up early and waited for the interviewer, who was a little late. She was extremely nice and easy to talk to. She asked me questions for 30 minutes and then stated that while I had the skill set Macy's was looking for and great answers, there weren't any openings in the store and I'd have to call back. However, openings are posted all over the internet, so I don't know how you wouldn't have any openings.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
What have you been doing since you graduated college?
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.
