I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomingdale's (San Diego, CA) in Sep 2010
Interview
I got a call to come in for an interview and first interviewed with the HR Manager (the San Diego store no longer has an HR manager- this position has now been given to the assistant store manager who is also the ops manager). Next I interviewed with the manager of my dept. -just about 5 mins later. They wanted me to interview with the assistant store manager the next day and just as I was in the parking lot I got a call asking me to come back in as the assistant store manager has time to see me that same day. After 3 interviews (same day) they made me an offer.

Interview
When I enter the human resources office. I was ask for my name and the reason I was there and then I was told to have a seat and my interviewer will be with me shortly. When my interviewer was present, she asked to follow her into her office and there was where the interviewer.The questions were straightforward. Not too lengthy. I felt as though the interviewer wanted to know what more I can offer than general qualities factors that an employee can bring to the job. She was fair questioner but firm. She made sure that she was serious and that she meant business with what she was implying as a manager.
