Macy's Sales Associate Interview

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Vancouver, WA (took a day)

I applied online at the Macy's department store. Within one day I received an email asking to set an interview time (everything is done from a computer). I studied up on the company the night before and had a organized binder ( cover letter, recommendations, work/school experience, and prepared questions I had). The interviewer who ended up being my manager, was really impressed about how much I knew about the company, and how I was prepared. The interview only took maybe 5 minutes, i knew i had the job because how well I was prepared and her facial expressions. I would advise to study on the company (how long they have been in business, how much Macy's donates or tries to help organization,etc. Also i would study up on interview questions that might be asked, and practice.
