The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Macy's (Aventura, FL) in Apr 2012
Interview
I had an interview in the mid April for Sales Associate position in Macy's Aventura. I applied online 2 weeks before and had an 1:1 interview after I got an e-mail from them and scheduled the interview. I wasn't able to negotiate, got a FT position and my training and orientation started the very next day .
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.
