I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Macy's (Garden City, NY) in Mar 2010
Interview
i applied online and about 2 days later i was told to schedule an interview online and so i did. i arrived 10 mins early and they made me sit down and i waited about 5 mins and then they told me to walk in. i introduced myself, the lady was very welcoming and nice. she asked me general questions about my availability and if i have had and previous experience. after i left and about 2 days later i received a call and i was told to arrive at a meeting and training.
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.
