The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's (Costa Mesa, CA) in Oct 2009
Interview
I applied on line, and I received a email for a interview one week later. The interview was 1:1 and the questions was all about how I would act in some situations. The manager asked me to sell my own outfit to him, asked me what is a good customer service and at the end offered me a job.
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.
