I said I have never witnessed a fellow work associate find money on the floor or ground and kept it to themselves. Less

You cannot make a stop based upon the fact that you are missing several elements of the assumed theft. He could have easily ditched the merchandise while he was not in sight of the officer. Stopping a suspected SL based upon this scenario is absurd and may have potential legal ramifications. Less

I'd have simply said something like, "Yes, but only for a bathroom break".

Ill answer some for those that are nervous or unaware. 1) I told them I was a regular shopper at macy's and everyone I know shops there aswell. I always wanted to work there and when I saw an open position I quickly applied. 2) I told them every job I had (which are mostly retail) required some form of loss prevention; which consisted of price accuracy, taking merchandise to the register for customers to deter shop lifters because if they know you are trying to assist them they will become too afraid to try something, inventory audits which required inventory counts which is a form a loss prevention, and etc. - But as good as those thing sound, keep in mind you do not do any of that there, just catch shoplifters. 3) Suspicious behavior looks like customers paying more attention to their surroundings rather than merchandise, hiding behind large objects, noticing cameras and paying with multiple gift cards. 4) I recommend your strength be, "honesty and reliability". I said something that I cant remember but Im sure it was a good strength for a sales person. I say honest and reliable because that's what the manger said they are looking for duh. My weakness was I think "improving my flaws" because everyone makes mistakes. 5) There was one question that threw me off, I think it was "name a time where an employee did something unethical and what did you do". I could not think of anything, but my answer was staying too long on breaks and asking the coworker to change his/her behavior, then go to the manager if it did not change. I could of said stealing, but I have never seen an employee steal so I didn't want to put my foot in my mouth by lying on such a simple question. If you don't know then state what you would do on something that I just stated. 6) One of the most important, is "what do you think the job consists of". Answer to that question is obviously Loss Prevention. Video monitoring customers and employees, physically escorting them to the back when caught shoplifting, filling out paper works on a daily basis and dressing in casual clothing and being eyes on the floor. Being able to come to the store after hours when the alarm goes off and whomever lives closest will most likely go there. 7) Last thing- What I believe that made me stand out was the fact I knew about the position, and there was one thing the manger said and that was being able to bring something to the team aswell as new ideas. I responded by saying I believe Im the best person for the position and one of my ideas would be to move the most expensive and commonly stolen items to an area relatively far from the exit or entrance below a camera that would give Loss Prevention the ability to accurately monitor, witness theft and quickly move to apprehend them without getting in the way of other guests because it is important to uphold Macy's reputation as a great and safe place to shop. (Say something like that and you more than likely got the job) Less

The point of a question like this is not to "make a negative sound positive" like "I am sometimes too committed to my job." The point of a question like this is to determine how you better yourself after making a mistake, to show you learn. So whatever you did, just show growth from the situation. Less

Thats a great question! Can you relate that to a job qualification or skill so I can answer in the most relevant way? Less
