The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Macy's (Newark, CA) in Aug 2011
Interview
I had a great first interview. Everything went very well, then they even offered me the job. But I couldn't start working, so why offer me the job, when u have no open positions available?! So I had to wait for weeks, and I called, and I had a second interview. But STILL I had to wait, but waste my time? Months passed, they finally asked if I was ready to work, and I declined.
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.
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.
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.
