I applied in-person. I interviewed at Macy's (Gainesville, FL) in Jun 2008
Interview
Applied in person. Called 3 weeks later and was told my application was lost in the shuffle. Scheduled an interview for two days later. Initially interviewed with department manager, then the store manager. Very basic interview questions. Received an offer one day after the interviews.
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.
