The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's (Boston, MA) in Apr 2011
Interview
I applied online and got an email to set up a interview within a couple days. At the interview they asked me a bunch of customer service oriented questions, I gave them the answers they wanted to hear about how I am really customer focused and helping the customer is always the number one priority. It was a very easy interview and i got the job on the spot.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There weren't any difficult interview questions, before I knew it i had the job.
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.
