The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Macy's (Roseville, MN) in Jun 2012
Interview
It took a week and half to get an interview after application. Then two hours before I was supposed to be there I was called and told the interviewer was on vacation and to reschedule. So I did, and the HR lady had a bit of an attitude when I did. Then the day before the new rescheduled date I was called and was told the interviewer had a meeting and to reschedule for the next day. At this point I was not hopeful but didnt get another call to cancel so I went. They man I interviewed with was very nice and polite. BUT when I got there he told me the position had been filled and asked if I was open to working a different counter or a different job all together. Luckily, I was open to that. What if someone wasnt though? You still have them come and interview for a job that is no longer available? Shuffle their cookies to Macy's for a job that isnt there anymore? Anyway, I was really nervous about the interview and nervous during the interview. Then after all it took to get the interview and finding out the job was no longer available I was kinda blah. Not "over the job" but left feeling a little icky and tricked a little bit. I would still love to work for Macy's. Have not heard anything since the interview a week ago.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
How would you sell a paticular product? How would you make the sale?
Recieved phone call to come in for in-person interview. Was told to expect an email from the brand tep for a 2nd and final interview. This didn't happen. I followed up a few times to ensure I hadn't missed any communication and was blatantly given the run around and lied to by the hiring manager. She didn't make eye contact during the interview and yawned several times throughout. Had they not wanted to move forward with me then they should have communicated next steps properly vs telling me lies that I'm still being considered and should hear from the rep soon for my 2nd interview. I wouldn't trust working for an individual who's communication and behavior just demonstrated they lack proper training and skills themselves to communicated with applicants. If I can't trust that what you tell me is 100% true at face value then I'm afraid it would have been a bad start to a relationship anyway. Disappointed in my interviewer and the folling communication and lack f respect and integrity shown to me.
After 30 minutes of sitting in waiting area for the interviewer to come(and me getting no response when I reached out to let the person who set up the interview know Id been waiting), I got up and left. Complete disregard for my time.
The Store Manager was kind and informative. The interview process was fast and there was a second interview with the ASM, In person for both interviews, and there was little time between communication and interviews.
