Interviewed Feb 2012 in Lawrenceville, NJ (took a day)

As usual applied online, scheduled for interview went for the interview. After driving from pa to nj. with no results. Some old lady happened to interview with all sorts of normal interview questions like

Why do you have to work here
How did you work in a team
with more 20 questions. I answered most of it and then she asked are you willing to work part time or full time. I said either one of them. Then she said we dont have this position right now. Actually we will make a note on file and consider it later. This is.... If they don't have this position. Why Why did they schdule for the interview. Just waiste of time and money...

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Holyoke, MA (took a day)

I've done the interview twice now, at two different Macy's locations and both were extremely easy. They always need people so I think they try not to set the standards too high. Both times it was a one- on- one interview with a person from HR. I was asked basic questions that focused on customer service experience, that was key. Nothing was really that difficult, for one of the interviews I didn't even prepare and still did fine.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Nashua, NH (took a day)

Applied for macy's online passed the questionaire a day later got the e-mail from the scheduling center to schedule an interview scheduled it for 2 days in advance (so they wouldn't have an excuse to say that they didn't know i was coming and they were unprepaired) When i got there i arrived 15 minutes early I went in and said I had an Interview right away the guy assuming a manager of some sort invited me In to his little 8x 10 office. I sat down and he began "interviewing me" He asked me questions like why macy's and not sears of jc penny and then went on to tell me what a sales associate did (as if I didn't have previous experience) all in all this interview lasted no longer than 10 minutes. I took note of no men working in the store except for him and the females that worked there were young and gorgeous coincedently. I desperatly needed the job so I accepted his petty offer of 7.25/hr and even though I had applied for a full time position was asked if part time would be suitable once agian being out of work with no income i accepted he left it at well i have numerous other canidates to interview I will give you a call by the end of the week with an answere..... I am in the waiting process now.. If I do not recieve a call within a week I am going to call coprate and tell them my grievance with this "Equal oppurtunity employer" It seems odd that these days the macy's Male:Female ratio is a 4:1 sexist agianst men whats the world coming to?
