I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Macy's (Bloomington, MN) in Jul 2013
Interview
I went and was prepared by looking at all of the postings here. Because of my preparedness, she gave me a job on the spot. I think a lot of people go in and expect the job so they don't prepare. Mistake. Go in professionally, and with confidence and you will do just fine!

Question 1
I also had a couple other questions asked:
1. Tell me about yourself. (Remember to answer by telling about your work history and professional life rather than personal life. about.com has good sample answers)
2. When was the last time you were late for something.

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.
