      Sales Associate Interview

      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Macy's (New York, NY) in Aug 2012

      Interview

      I applied on their website and a few weeks later I received an email. The email explained that I was picked to go to an interview and to pick a time out of their choices. I picked on for 4pm a few days later. I arrived and had to go to one of the top floors, go through security, sign in and leave my id. When I got to the waiting room it was around 3:45pm. I sat down and waited and waited and waited. More people came inside for interviews and I kept waiting. Then at around 5pm I noticed that people that came in after me were being called, but they hadn't called me name. Another person had the same situation and she went to ask and they said that they would call her soon. 5:45pm came and they still hadn't called her or my name so she got up and told them that if she could reschedule and they said yes. Then I went to do the same thing and the girl was so obnoxious and was saying that she wasn't sure if I could reschedule. I reminded her of the previous girl that she had just attended and she was all like ok reschedule if you know how to. I was like thanks and walked out.

      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.
