I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's (Wellington, FL) in Oct 2009
Interview
I arrived about 15 minutes before my interview (they asked me to be there about 10 min. before) and ended up waiting about 30. My interviewer was late. When she finally arrived the interview on on its way. She was very polite, but literally read from the list of questions she was supposed to ask. They were mostly the same old part-time job questions. My interviewer even admitted that the questions were stupid and pointless at the end which really surprised me. I would have agreed if I was not trying to get a job. The interview lasted about 10 minutes.
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.
