The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Macy's (New York, NY) in July 2010
Interview
First met with the human resources manager. Filled out a 5 page application and signed a background check waiver. VERY basic questions. Such as biggest strength/weakness, biggest accomplishments, etc.
HR manager contacted me the following day to schedule an interview the following week.
Met with a buyer in the women's contemporary department. The interview was very laid back, in her small office. Basically did a comparison of how the buying department worked at Macy's vs. the other company I worked for. Didn't have much to say and the meeting wa s brief.
Went through extensive background check. Copy of college diploma, called all previous employers for salary and date of hire/end dates, checked 4 references.
The interview process felt very informal and somewhat disorganized. There was limited structure to the conversation, and the recruiter did not provide much detail about the role or expectations. When I asked follow-up questions to better understand the position, the responses felt dismissive, which made it difficult to assess whether the role was a good fit.
the interview process was good, just be confident and they will like you. i didnt get an offer because the commute was far so i told them i wouldnt be able to
quick and efficient interview process 2 rounds of interviews. first interview with HR representative then your next round of interviews will be with hiring manager. Basic interview questions and describe previous roles.
