I applied online. I interviewed at Macy's (Walnut Creek, CA) in Aug 2012
Interview
I was called by a manager for an interview but it took several calls to eventually get a date to come in. I had to wait to meet with her, but eventually we did talk and I talked with the assistant store manager. They seemed professional but the followup was not well planned. I was strung along for several weeks before I was hired.
