I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Macy's in Aug 2009
Interview
My first interview was a group/panel interview. After which the interviewer met individually for a few minutes. I was offered a spot then. However they didn't have a permanent position available but asked if I would take a floater position and was promised I would be offered permanent as soon as one became available.
Other Sales Associate interview reviews for Macy's
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.
