I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Macy's (Vancouver, WA)
Interview
I applied online to be a seasonal sales associate and got an email back asking for me to schedule an interview. I scheduled one for a few days later. I arrived at my interview early and I didn't have to wait long. The interviewer asked me maybe 10 questions, all relating to retail and my personality. She was very nice and not too stuffy or cold. I ended up getting offered the job at the end of the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Most of the questions were pretty basic for a retail position. They did ask me what I felt like I had to work on which is hard because you don't want to say "nothing, I'm good at everything" and you also don't want to have a list of things you could be better at.
Was interviewed for a seasonal position. Was told they have no seasonal positions, once they found out I was a college student. Made no sense to me quickly ended the interview.
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.
I had one interview with the store manager and it lasted for about 45 minutes. The interview was all standard behavioral questions. I was offered the job on the spot.
