The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Macy's (Portland, OR) in Nov 2011
Interview
There were two one on one interviews. The first one generally asked about any retail or customer service experience, what you would do in certain situations, whether or not you are able to work on days such as Black Friday, Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve and New Years day. The second interview you fill in more details, and you are asked to describe how you would offer the Macy's card to the employer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you comfortable with selling lines of credit to customers?
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.
