I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's (Richmond, VA) in May 2011
Interview
The interview went very well. She asked basic questions related to retail and my experience. She wanted to know how comfortable I felt selling and if I was able to meet company goals. The questions were pretty basic and straight forward and she asked about past experiences working for retail.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Name a time where you had to work as a team to satisfy a customer and what was the outcome?
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.
