I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's (Palm Beach Gardens, FL) in Jun 2011
Interview
The website was very easy to navigate through. Once I was offered an interview I had to wait for a time slot to open to schedule. When I went in for the interview all the people were very nice. I met with a woman first that was very down to earth. She asked me many questions that weren't unreasonable. Then they had me come back later in the day to speak with a gentleman. He was very nice and was also down to earth. It has been four days since the interview, so I am keeping my fingers crossed. I suppose they have many to interview. The overall experience was great, and it made me more excited to work for the company.
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.
