I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Macy's in Sep 2012
Interview
There was one interview. I applied online. I was invited by email for my interview. My Manager didnt even know I was coming. It was a quick and relatively easy conversation. She loved me and offered me a position right away. Then the job I was hired for never came open so I was swiched to another department. Then I was eventually hired as a seasonal part time associate. I felt like I was not really wanted. Althogh I knew I was. As a new associate I felt like they really didnt want me there. There were several people in my training class who felt the same way. Many of them quit because of this.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I'm an interview pro so there was no difficult question. the hardest thing for me was staying after being hired and training. I dont know what corperate it thinking. It felt very impersonal. Noone knew I was coming for my interview or training. I felt unwanted.
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.
