      Sales Associate Interview

      Feb 19, 2012
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's in Oct 2011

      Interview

      I heard from a family member that Macy's was hiring for the hoilday season so I figured I would check it out since I could use the extra cash. I went to their website and filled out an application, the application wasn't hard at all. A couple of days later I recieved an email from Human Resources telling me to choose a date and time for my interview on their online scheduling center. Lucky for me, there was a huge selection so I chose the earliest date available. On the day of the interview I got there 30 minutes early. My interview was scheduled for 11:30am but they didn't see me until almost 12:30. By the way I was dressed in all black since that is the attire you would wear if working there. When they called my name, I was brought to a little office. The lady who interviewed me was very nice so I felt very comfortable. Basically the whole interview consisted her reading a couple of questions she randomly chose from a piece of paper that was in front of her. After the questions were answered, she asked me they days and times I would be available if hired and that was it. A couple of days later I recieved an email telling me that I was very qualified for the position I was seeking but unfortunately there wasn't any available openings there at the time being but they would keep me on file incase a position opens up.

      I interviewed at Macy's (Santa Barbara, CA)

      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.
