      Sales Associate Interview

      Jul 6, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Toledo, OH
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Macy's (Toledo, OH) in Jul 2018

      Interview

      I applied for a MYSHOP CAPTAIN position but at the end of the application, it automatically switched it to a SALES ASSOCIATE. Within one or two days, I got an email telling me to pick a time on the schedule for my interview. I picked and it sent a reminder. I arrive about ten minutes early filling the directions on where to go. There was no one in the office. I go and find an employee and tell them my situation. After calling two different managers, the employee finally led me back to the office, let me inside, and asked me to wait on the sofa. After waiting 10-15 minutes, a lady finally comes and asks me my name but never introduces herself. She then told me to follow her to her office for the interview. Very uncomfortable situation, not personal at all. Barely a conversation, more of just a stilted back and forth. At this point, I didn’t even want the job. Every single question was “tell me of a time when.....”

      Application

      I interviewed at Macy's (Santa Barbara, CA)

      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.
