I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's (Saint Paul, MN) in Jun 2011
Interview
I applied online and three hours later received an interview invitation. The hiring process took about 15-20 minutes. The manager asked me about ten questions. After I finished my last response she immediately went ahead and talked about the departments available and which one I would like to work for. She was very nice and made the atmosphere very comfortable. I wasn't nervous about this interview because I came prepared.
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.
