I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Macy's
Interview
They are looking for put-together, attractive people. You don't have to be showy or glamorous, but they want you to be attractively professional. Check out their "uniform" in the store and match it for the interview. It is usually all black or black pants and a blazer or cardigan over a conservative blouse. They want someone who is familiar with retail, they want to hear that you like to work with people and it will help if you can show that you are cheerful, yet determined to do a good job. Don't give them a list of days or times that you can't work - kiss of death. It's better to take the job and try switching with your co-workers or working something out with your manager after you've been there a while.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They will be very pointed about your views regarding employee theft, cheating on your hours or turning the other way when you see others doing these things. They want employees who are scrupulously honest.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Macy's (Orlando, FL)
Interview
Virtue first. Then, at the store. Interview questions are not hard but hiring manager/s are sketchy. They posted part time positions but when I got into the interview they said their looking for people wanting full time job. So unprofessional to take my time.
