I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's in Oct 2010
Interview
I applied for the position online and received an email requesting an interview. I scheduled my interview through their website. After arriving, the manager was about 20 minutes late for the scheduled appointment. Then was taken in for a one-on-one interview. The questions were pretty standard- lots of situational questions. I was surprised that the offered the position to me at the end of the interview.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
How was it working in a supervisory role one day and a subordinate role the next? (In reference to previous work history)
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.
