I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Macy's (Jefferson Valley, NY) in June 2015
Interview
The process was extremely laid back, I was so anxious heading into the interview as it was my first ever. My interviewer calmed me down and told me not to worry. The main answer they were looking for and that I gave was that I am completely flexible and will have no problem promoting upcoming deals and sales. I was offered the job on the spot which was great. Overall I think my nerves were much bigger than the actual interview.
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.
