I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Macy's (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2013
Interview
Interview took 15 min. the woman who interviewed me was very easy-going and friendly. She told me about the training program, benefits and set up a schedule for me to complete a few days training at the local office. You learned how to run credit cards, checks, and use the computer to locate sales for the customers. There was also a video on using an i phone to track the item for your customer, find the price and complete the sale.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you resolve a conflict? Another question was if you caught someone stealing what would you do?
Fill out the online application, they will request a recorded interview if they select you, then an in-person interview. Questions are really standard and repetitive, asking about sales, hospitality and customer service.
The department store hiring process includes submitting an application, completing interviews, passing background checks, receiving a job offer, attending onboarding, and completing training before beginning regular work responsibilities. It sounded standard but I got a better job somewhere else.

Interview
Easy and quick. Super nice and just wanted to get it done right. I have had some pretty easy interviews but this one was one I really enjoyed which is crazy to say about an interview.
