I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Macy's (Columbus, OH) in Nov 2022
Interview
The interview process was fairly easy. Come prepared with great questions to ask. I think previous experience working within retail was definitely a PLUS. There was an initial phone interview and one in person interview and I received the job on the spot. It was during the holiday season, so that could have certainly played a factor into the hiring process and turn around time.
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.
