I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's in Apr 2010
Interview
My experience has been nothing but great with Macy's West. I was living out of state at the time I applied for a sales position I applied for and the manager who contacted was willing to set up a time for my interview when I would be in the area. Not only did she wait for me to be in the area she also lead a great interview and I was hired on the spot.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe how you would help a customer in this situation..... ( then they would ask you a question involving a customers need).
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.
