The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Macy's in Apr 2008
Interview
We first had a full interview where they asked basic questions regarding sales goals and personality. We then had a group interview where we had to do group role playing. We then had a one on one interview where they asked us questions about past work history.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you think you should get this job above everyone else in that room?
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.
