The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's (Honolulu, HI) in Jan 2012
Interview
The secretary could have been a little nicer, she wasn't all that great at greeting. I was scheduled to have an interview at 2:00 pm but the manager didn't show up until 2:30 pm. When she finally was ready she took me into a small room / office that was being shared by 3 different people, although those people weren't there the phone kept ringing!
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What steps would you take to persuade customer to come back to your counter?
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.
