The interview and hiring process was fairly straight forward for Macy's Home Store. The Human Resources Coordinator coordinated all of the interviews. I met with two people when I interviewed. One was a Human Resources Manager and the other was a Buyer. Both interviews were fairly straight-forward and no difficult questions were asked. I was given an offer before I left the building that day.
