I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's (Simi Valley, CA)
Interview
Only got asked about 10 questions, so the interview was fairly short. It was going extremely well until I mentioned that I needed two hours on Saturday off for religious purposes. The interviewers entire demeanor changed. I had a completely free schedule besides that, and I made sure she knew, but she acted like it was gonna be a big hassle to try to fit me in. I had applied for part time, but they kept asking me if I wanted to do full time. I already volunteer part time, so I couldn't do full time, and they seemed a bit annoyed. Interviewer said she would call me back, but all I got was a short email saying they didn't need anyone at this time.
