I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Macy's (Arcadia, CA) in Nov 2014
Interview
It was brief...they didn't tell me that the position I had applied for was already filled until halfway through the interview. Unorganized and a tad unprofessional. It was messy, regardless of if it's the holiday seasonal hiring, they should have been more prepared. I ended up being offered a different position then what I had applied for. They began the interview later than the appointment time (I was prompt).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
"We're so sorry but the position you applied for has been filled. Will you be able to accept this position instead?"
Fill out the online application, they will request a recorded interview if they select you, then an in-person interview. Questions are really standard and repetitive, asking about sales, hospitality and customer service.
The department store hiring process includes submitting an application, completing interviews, passing background checks, receiving a job offer, attending onboarding, and completing training before beginning regular work responsibilities. It sounded standard but I got a better job somewhere else.

Interview
Easy and quick. Super nice and just wanted to get it done right. I have had some pretty easy interviews but this one was one I really enjoyed which is crazy to say about an interview.
