I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Macy's (Charlotte, NC) in Oct 2011
Interview
I applied for the position online. A few days later, I received an email asking me to schedule myself an interview. I picked my day and time and showed up a few minutes early. They provide directions to get to the executive office and I waited patiently with another lady for someone to come and get me. As the other person and I waited, another lady showed up, late for her interview. From my understanding she didn't get the job. I was called by one of the managers and I followed her into a room. She asked my basic questions such as why do I want to work for the company, what would I do under stress, do i know what all is expected of me. She offered me the job and informed me of two positions they had available. I accepted one of the positions. I was told I would receive a call within a few days to schedule my training. The next day which was on a Friday I got the call and scheduled my training for the following Monday.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
When was a time i received excellent customer service?
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.
