I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Macy's (Richmond, VA) in Jul 2012
Interview
I applied online and they sent me an email the next day asking me to schedule an interview. I came in for the interview and it seemed like a pleasant experience. The interviewer asked 10 questions about situations that seemed simple. She asked about conflict and using teamwork in the workplace. She asked how I would sell something to a customer. I'm not sure why I didn't get the job because I had the experience so I'm very confusded.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
How would you help the customer celebrate their purchase?
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.
