I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Macy's (San Diego, CA) in Apr 2019
Interview
I filed my application and in the course of two weeks, they called my cellphone for a thirty-minute interview and hired me on the spot. After the interview, I was scheduled to do some paperwork so I could start right away.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time where you provided an excellent customer service experience
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.
