Interview
I applied for this position on snagajob.com. The whole interview only took about 15 minutes. The interviewer was very easy-going. I would advise anyone who is going to an interview to wear what Macy's employees wear--black pants and black jacket/cardigan with a colored shirt or a plain black shirt. My interviewer was very impressed that I came to the interview dressed in what I would wear to work. At the end of the interview, I was offered a job in the men's clothing department.
