The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's in Jun 2010
Interview
I received an email from Macy's saying they would like to give me an interview on X day and that interviews were limited on a first come first serve basis. I thought that would of meant a 1 on 1 interview well I got there and found out it was not as limited as I thought it was. 10-15 people waiting to get interviewed while 2 hiring managers were asking questions. Took about an hour before it was my turn and i didn't understand the order at which people were asked to go in. Seem more like an open call than anything

Question 1
If macys were to hire you now what can you bring to the table.
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.
