Interviewed Nov 2011 in Fort Worth, TX (took a day)
The interview is pretty easy; however, the waiting time is quite long. There are too many people in a long line. The typical questions is such as "why do you want to work for Macy's?" and "If our store doesn't have the merchandise which customer needs, what would you do?"

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took a day)
With many years of experience, the new methods of applying on line for a job in 2010, are extremely frustrating, In most cases, you may as well drop your application and resume in the Atlantic Ocean. Having said that, I took my resume to HR after applying on line. Something worked this, or call it luck. My past experience wit the bigger companies, it that their computers often pick up a word from your resume creatinga job that you are not qualified.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Pasadena, TX (took a day)
i got a call from macy's secretary, she asked some preliminary questions. the main one i remember was "macy's asks all associates to meet a quota for credit applications every week. do you have any objections to asking customers to apply for a macy's card?" . you must say this is no problem or they won't call you in for an interview.
at the interview the sales manager asked me questions from a printout and wrote my answers on this. the questions were the usual sales questions...."tell me about how you have convinced a client to buy a product", etc. but one question was strange......."tell me about why you chose the outfit you are wearing today".....she was a little uncomfortable with asking that one, but said it was to show selling skills. she even showed it to me and yes, it really did ask that one. i answered by saying "the jacket i choose to wear today has short sleeves due to the humid climate of the houston area, yet is professional enough for wearing to a interview. these qualities of the jacket lets me focus my attention on the interview itself rather than how uncomfortable/hot/sweaty i am, so that i can put my best foot forward." i was offered a job before leaving this interview.
