I applied online. I interviewed at Macy's (Albany, NY) in Oct 2016
Interview
what asks online is same questions in person. They call you in face to face and will have a sheet printed out with the stuff you filled out online or if you did a paper,But usually online. The process was easy and not long they literally read a list of what you wrote and ask you same questions hoping get the same type of response if not a better one just make sure to include the company name why you want to work for them.
I did a walk-in job interview during the hiring job fair. I applied for the job on their computer kiosk. Then they put me in for an interview on the same day.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's (Houston, TX) in Dec 2025
Interview
Answer first question starting with One recorded video and then followed up with multiple recorded responses to additional questions. Pretty simple and straightforward. Dress up on the top and wear whatever on the bottom.
Was an easy phone interview that only took a couple of minutes. I was only asked maybe 3 questions at most. Questions were sales experience, job history, and what I can work
