I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's in Sep 2009
Interview
I'm pretty young and I noticed that most of the employees were more "mature" as you may say so I felt like odds were against me when I walked in. I had to wait while for my interview but the first manager i met was very nice and easygoing.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Talk about a situation where you had to stand up and be a leader. What did you do and why?
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.
