I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's (Providence, RI) in Jul 2010
Interview
They were very disorganized. I got there and had a one on one with a representative and then i waited half am hour to talk to the hiring manager. They had a bunch of questions they were just reading off. Really the past sales experience is necessary. They were pretty nice though and offered the job on the spot. It was a non negotiable salary. I think they were a little snooty.
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.
