I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's (Fairview Heights, IL) in Oct 2010
Interview
Female interviewer, very nice, a few questions, asked me why I wanted to work for them, asked me where I wanted to work, ask me about specific days I could work, asked me about honesty. I had provided a resume, a career brief and a TS security background on line. I wore all black, found out later thereis an all black dress code and supposedly get steeply discounted "black" clothing. I was hired on the spot for 8.25.
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.
