I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Macy's (Los Angeles, CA) in Mar 2009
Interview
I applied online they emailed a week later, then called me about scheduling an interview. I was out of the country so we schedules a phone interview. It was pretty brief they asked me why I wanted to work there, what some of my best talents and skills were, some strengths and weaknesses, if I work well with others and an example of when I have done so, and what is my best achievement/most proud of so far in life. They said they would call me back soon about it.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
what achievement are you most proud of in your life and why
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.
