I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's (New York, NY) in July 2012
Interview
I just went for an interview on jul 17 for sales associate position. All the managers were in a meeting that day,my appointment was at 3 and due to meeting didn't get interviewed until 5! Asked basic questions like why Macy's and situation questions. I answered all well, I was very confident and got hired on spot.
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.
