I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's (Clearwater, FL) in Oct 2011
Interview
I applied online via snagajob.com for a FULL TIME Retail Sales position. I got an email to interview for a FULL TIME Retail Sales position. I went to the interview and was interviewed not for full time, but for flex time/temporary Retail Sales. The interview went well until the interviewer told me that I was not interviewing for full time but for seasonal. Everything about the application and interview scheduling process said full time in black and white. No mention of seasonal sales. I went back and confirmed this before posting this review. There is even a separate application for seasonal work that I did not apply for. The interview went well overall despite the difference noted above. Basic questions about "Why Macy's?", "Example of good customer service given or received.", "How would you sell a product to a customer?". It lasted about 15-20 minutes. My only complaint is the dishonesty in the initial job posting. If you want seasonal, I have no problem working seasonal, but make that clear upfront before the application process begins. Too many people are unemployed and in need of work to be fooling around like this.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Macy's (Orlando, FL)
Interview
Virtue first. Then, at the store. Interview questions are not hard but hiring manager/s are sketchy. They posted part time positions but when I got into the interview they said their looking for people wanting full time job. So unprofessional to take my time.
