I applied online. I interviewed at Macy's (Greensburg, PA) in Nov 2017
Interview
It was over the phone and very simple. They asked a lot of questions pertaining to experience and what you would do in a situation. I didn't think it was hard at all. At my store, it was not competitive to get a job either. They are just looking for some help around holidays.
