I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Bloomingdale's (Chicago, IL) in Dec 2019
Interview
Came a little earlier, interviewer was not there yet but came quickly. Overall, interview went pretty fast. Friendly. Asked me to tell about myself, about my work experience, why do I want to work on this position in Bloomingdales. Told me to ask any questions and answered them very clear and to the fullest. Was emailed to choose the date and time for interview next day after applying for job, by the way, and the interview was on the next day. I was told to wait for a call and email with the results (in any case) - still nothing, one week already passed
