I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Macy's (Hyannis, MA) in Jul 2012
Interview
Applied online, prompt emails back, made interview appointment. Macy's rep called to change interview, changed interview. When I got to interview, a search was on to find someone to interview me. the woman sitting at the desk was actually a floor employee watching a safety training video. Interview positive: Why Macy's? Experience? Said they're highly promotional (ya think?). Said they'd get back to me in Sept. then got email rejection letter. Go figure!
