I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Macy's (Woodbridge, NJ) in May 2012
Interview
I applied online and recieved an email a week later inviting me to an interview. I scheduled it online and recieved a confirmation the day before the interview. On the day of the interview I arrived at HR and they were expecting me, I sat and waited for the Cosmetics Counter Manager. She was very nice and friendly, gave me a little background info on her career at Macys, then I had the chance to talk about myself. Afterwards she asked me questions about certain situations with customers and in the workplace. She seemed to like me and scheduled a 2nd interview a week later so I can meet the general store manager. I then met with her and she asked me 2-3 questions and then hired me on the spot, the 2nd interview was very quick.

Question 1
Why do you think foundation is the most important product when it comes to sales?
Very unorganized interview process, by the time they got back to me I already accepted another offer. I don’t even think they knew I was suppose to have an interview that day. Confusion from start to finish
