      Sales Associate Interview

      Oct 22, 2012
      Anonymous employee
      Brentwood, TN
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Macy's (Brentwood, TN) in Oct 2012

      Interview

      First of all, I should preface by saying I worked at Macys the previous year as seasonal. I arrived to my interview about 15 minutes early and the interviewer took me back to the interview room immediately. He asked me about my previous jobs and why I no longer worked there. He also asked why I was leaving my current job. I'm a college student and he asked me how many credit hours I have. I told him I didn't know and he said that he was a bit worried that I didn't know the answer. He asked me why I didn't stay on the team after the holidays were over last year. He asked me quite a few questions, more than I was asked last time. I've listed the ones I can remember below. After the interview he had me wait while he went and checked on something. He came back and offered me a part time sales associate position in women's shoes. Once the holiday season is over, they will evaluate my sales and if they are happy with them, then they will place me there and receive commission that permanent women's shoes associates receive. He did say that if a position in another department opens up, that I may have the option of switching departments. I accepted the offer. 1. Why do you want to work at Macys? 2. Name a time where you saw a coworker do something they weren't supposed to and how you handled it. 3. Describe a time where you had to work as a team to make a sale. 4. How would you greet and make a connection with a customer? 5. How would you sell the Macys Star Rewards card? 6. How do you respond to and handle a constantly changing environment? 7. How would you sell a woman a pair of pants? 8. How would you inspire her to buy more? 9. How would you celebrate a purchase with a customer? 10. Do you think you are good at reading people? 11. Is reading people a good thing or a bad thing?

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Macy's (Santa Barbara, CA)

      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.
